Hi!

I've seen water under my car, approx. under the timing belt. Is it possibe that the water pump or pump gasket has gone?

I'd say that's the most likely. Failing that, it's leaking from the thermostat housing in the "vee" and running down the front of the engine. Pop the cam belt cover off and have a look. :y

had the same last week - first suspect was water pump but turns up the thermostat gasket has gone. First just take the elephant off (two air intake bores) and look for water between heads.

Nah. I'd bet on the two options mentioned. But watch them though. Garages are bound to make the most of a job like that if they can. And not all know the omega well enough to diagnose the problem correctly.

OK, I have a professinal machanic, but a little bit far from me.
I'm worried a little bit because when I started the engine white smoke ccame out from the exhaust tilla short time. I've never seen such a thing like this.....

Hi!

It seems the problem was water pump and oil cooler cover too.
Mechanic has replaced the timing belt, water pump, thermostat and now it's seems ok.
