So a few months ago I was out rideing was out for 3hrs with occasional breaks was getting home almost and my coolant started draining out the overflow I shut it off checked it out it was a lot of coolant and my mechanic told me it was waterpump because coolant wasn’t spraying out radiator when letting it warm up I replaced the waterpump which had no physical damage noticeable abd it did nothing still don’t pump coolant. Looked and looked for what to do I replaced the oil pump too cuz they are connected so I thought maybe the oil pump stopped working causing the waterpump to not work but still have the issue I’m getting real tired of dumping money into it for no results. I was told it could be blown head but I’ve not lost power and coolant don’t leaks anywhere up top. Please any information would be great 🤙🏽🤙.

Possible blown headgasket, have you done a compression test on all 4 cylinders.. that's free

I would get a second opinion. It's hard to interpret what's going on from the post, but a skilled mechanic should have no problem diagnosing it. Never trust a mechanic that just has you blindly throwing parts at a problem.

Take this for what it is:

The cooling system is very easy to diagnose. If your mechanic can't figure out what is wrong you need to find a new one. I'd personally take to get diagnosed and repaired once and for all rather than throwing parts at it; in the end it will be much cheaper.

The service manual will have a whole section in it for troubleshooting the cooling system. Follow the tests in it if you want to do it yourself.
