My 1994 Honda Civic CX is leaking water from the area below its timing belt cover. I strongly suspect the water pump may be the problem.
I require initial assistance in diagnosing the problem correctly and also a detailed explanation about what tools I need and how to go about repairing the issue once it has been diagnosed.
By way of historical context, the timing belt was recently replaced on the vehicle, but incorrectly set timing seems to have caused overheating which then blew the engine's head gasket. The engine and gasket have since been replaced, but the water pump is original on a car with ~140K miles.
As I am currently on a very limited budget, your time spent in replying will be greatly appreciated!
