Looks to be as it's the one at the front end of the left hand side of the engine. Wld u risk driving it to a trusted mechanic or wld you rather get it towed?

ok all is done
the water pump was siezed solid one pully siezed as well the other not far from it
car has 140k on it was done by mitsi 40k ago not by me looks like they did timing belt and thats it
mechanic could not belive the waterpump so siezed at only 140k
so lucky no other damage thanks to mal supply parts quick was off the road for only a few days
be aware some places will only give warranty if the hydralic tensioner is changed as well
so i got a 100k warranty now
was 280 for labour plus parts not bad really
