Pumps circulate the fluids an engine depends on. This group covers lubricating oil pumps, coolant and water pumps, fuel transfer and lift pumps, injection pumps, scavenge and priming pumps, and the hydraulic pumps fitted to driven equipment. Each has its own failure signature: a worn oil pump shows as low pressure once the engine is hot, a failing water pump usually leaks from the weep hole or develops bearing noise, and a tired fuel transfer pump causes hard starting and power loss under load. Because pump failure quickly damages other components — bearings without oil, heads without coolant — declining pump performance is worth acting on early.

Coolant seepage from the weep hole, bearing noise or play at the pulley, and overheating under load are the usual indicators. A leaking weep hole means the internal seal has failed and the pump needs replacing.
Low pressure can come from a worn oil pump, excessive bearing clearance, a stuck pressure relief valve, oil dilution or a blocked pick-up strainer. Confirm with a mechanical gauge before dismantling.
Injection pumps are frequently overhauled and recalibrated by specialist facilities. Calibration on a test bench is essential, as fuelling and timing must be set to the engine's specification.
