So I had an incident with a coyote on the freeway which ended up taking out my intercooler and radiator/rad support. I dismantled the entire thing myself and replaced all the parts and put it back together and then as I was refilling the coolant to finish the job I hear it spilling out from underneath 😑🔫 so I look and it’s coming from this small round black plastic thing, I have no idea what the part is or how to go about figuring it out so I can order it and get the car back on the road. I posted a pic of it looking up from underneath and also a pic of the spot it’s located in when I had the front end off. HELP

 

Auxiliary water pump?

Aux water pump, yep. https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...8-no-heat.html

 

Thank you so much! I’ve ordered from your site before for parts to media blast my valves and the parts were great!

 

There's gotta be a Roadrunner joke in here somewhere.

 

Note: the more I read the joke, the more I offend myself. Sorry, all, no need to be that way. Self-edited post.
