ABSTRACT:
A drip collector installed to a vehicle coolant pump of the type that has a protruding cylindrical bearing race with vent holes includes a feature to prevent collected coolant from splashing out, but not preventing it from collecting in the first instance. The collector includes at least one axially extending cylindrical sleeve that overlays the vent hole, with a small radial gap from the outside of the bearing race. Leaking coolant can run slowly through the gap, but cannot splash out quickly.
