Coolant leak

[Jhn]

On a 560 diesel it has a straight line stream shooting out underneath the water pump . It's hard to see in there but looks like it's in the middle under the mounting base, (not up by the shaft) its just a thin line aiming straight forward. It amounts to a steady drip. Would this be the gasket or something else? It only does it when running and doesn't seem to leak at all not running.

time to replace the water pump is what that is telling you. , its leaking out the weep hole.

But it looks like it's under the water pump, not part of it. Also it looks like the same tractor as your picture.

Then it’s that frost plug behind the water pump. Pump had to come off to replace it. I am very familiar with these model tractors. I have replaced that plug also.

I forgot … u need to tear the front tming gear cover and plate off , that’s a big job. Pull rad , pull out front heavy cast also

Any play, other than fan blade flex, if you try to wiggle a fan blade front to rear?

No. It's what rustred said. Also the fan is a seperate unit from the water pump.
