Are coolant leaks from the front side of the engine a common sign of water pump failure in the Changan Alsvin?

Many users complain of low coolant levels and engine overheating. Is the water pump gasket o r housing poorly sealed?

Yes, coolant leaks at the front of the engine—especially near the timing belt covers o r water pump housing—are frequently reported alongside overheating issues. These leaks often indicate failing gaskets o r housings, and many users describe ping coolant levels followed by a sudden temperature rise. The weak sealing materials used in Alsvin water pumps tend to degrade quickly, making leaks a telltale sign of pump failure.
