My sportsman just developed a squeal…. I’m thinking it’s a water pump bearing….. attached is a video with the squeal.
This just developed after I noticed that the reservoir was empty and some steam was starting to come out the top of the cap. I quickly shut it off when I heard the squealing. I toped off the reservoir and the coolant got sucked into the cooling lines. Than I topped it off again and the sound has gone down a little but it’s still there. I’m gonna let it cool and let the cooling system suck in that reservoir again and top it off and see what happens.
Any suggestions on what to look at or check would be great!
Btw I have ordere A shop service manual a few days ago so still waiting on its arrival.
