mk2 16v leaking water

[Bigdunc]

hi my mk2 16v broke down yesterday it's leaking allot of water seams to be coming form the main engine block . the water hasn't mixed with the old so possibly not the head gasket. i cant quite see the leak as the cam belt is in the way but you can hear a squeaking noise and  and see water coming out when you squees the water pipes.

does anyone have any ideas what it could be

thanks

Possibly your water pump has gone for a pearler.

yeah it'll be the water pump. not too bad a job to sort

i thought the water pump was at the bottom of the engine as this leak is at the top, as i thought waterpump and then realized the leak was at the top on the engine.

if its the top then i can only assume its blown the headgasket
