water leak behind timing belt tensioner
 

water is leaking at the square hole behind timing belt tensioner, it is a 99 ford zx2 w/ a dohc motor. I don't have a clue why water is coming out of that area ? Any help would be nice. Thanks ...John

Sounds likethe water pump. How many miles??? The water pumpis usually driven by the timing belt.

Probably water pump, check if your fan pushes in and out or if it wiggles around in the bearing, or if you have noticed the tensioner being wobbles before the leak occurred.
