Leaky water pump cover bolt

[redrocket]

I was in the middle of changing my oil when I noticed a small water leak. My upper bolt (the one with the copper washer) is leaking, I tried to tighten it but it's still leaking. I'm heading to the dealer. Anyone ever had this problem?

It did started getting wet around there on my last trip and then stopped, go figure.

..mine developed a small leak when I first got it (about 2,000 miles)..I took the water pump off, put a very small amount of blue goo RTV sealer on the rubber O ring/gasket all the way around..it's been ok since..

Dealer tightened it up pretty good, the top bolt where the copper washer is and all is OK, I had to get new crush washers and a new o-ring for the oiul change anyway :wink:

Hi Bruce. My top bolt leaked on my last trip at about 28000 miles.
Changed the copper washer and it solved the problem.

At any boat center....Woody's Wax, it will preserve all your aluminum. Use a Mother's ball and Mother's polish to get it clean and shiny and then use Woody's to seal in the beauty. I will PM you with my cell.
