Water Pump

Post by First-Car as Marina » Sat May 25, 2019 12:45 pm

So I noticed when I first put water in PDA last week it was leaking from somewhere near the water pump, but I couldn't see where. Since starting it the leak stopped but it has now come back and I can see it is coming from the hole in the bottom of the water pump, so I assume the seal has failed? I'm not sure though but one of you guys will I'm sure.

My other question is, should I just replace the seal (providing one is available and that is actually the problem), or is it not worth it and seals don't really work on a used pump so I may well fit new?

Cheers guys :thumbup:
