Had a wee blast across the Humber bridge and back last night to find coolant leaking from what appears to be the water pump.

When engine is on it is gushing out, maybe gasket gone?

I have a new water pump to put in, but is there anything I should do/change at the same time?

e.g. Fan belt :conf2:
 
Might as well change the fan belt while you are there, for sake of a few quid, especially if you don't know when it was last changed. I can't think of anything else, but its been a while since I raised a spanner to a z engine.

Cheers

Water pump seal failure allows water to pour out through a bleed hole underneath - it's the pumps way of warning you not to drive the car any more. The next step is bearing failure and the fan dropping off into your radiator. Get the new pump on!
 
Hi,
yes i would change the Pumpe and the belt as well too.
Tell us if everthing is working well after that.;)
