Just a slight leak from one of the top bolts on the water pump but that could be gasket issue or bolt is not torqued enough. I did notice the tensioner pulley assembly wiggles rotationally a bit while it is running. Could that be the issue or has it caused the alternator bearing to go bad? Should I replace the alternator and the tensioner pulley?
