In other cases there may only a small leak. If there are water stain marks around the bleed hold on the pump housing, there is a leak.

What are my options?

The vehicle can be taken to a local dealer or repair shop. If an owner is skilled and has adequate tools and equipment, they may be able to diagnose the problem. There are automotive websites that advertise repair services and/or sell replacement parts. Other vendors sell repair manuals and parts online.
