You need a new water pump for your vehicle. To replace it, follow these steps. Start by locating the timing belt or chain, as you'll need to remove it to access the water pump. Consult your owner's manual or search online for specific instructions on how to do this since each vehicle can be different. Once you have access to the water pump, disconnect the hose attached to it. When you do this, coolant will flow out, so be prepared. Remove the bolts and take out the old pump. Clean the connection points in the car before installing the new pump and securing it with bolts. Reattach the hoses and put the belt or chain back in place. You may need to add more coolant to the system depending on how much was lost. The total cost of a water pump replacement ranges between $200 and $300, with the part costing around $150 and labor ranging from $50 to $150 depending on the time taken to complete the job.

    The main reason why water leaks near the water outlet on a modern Ford Fusion is usually because the water outlet housing fails, either cracking or deteriorating over time, which then results in a leak.
