I got my pump all cleaned up and re assembled and finally got it installed after work today.
I started pouring coolant in after getting all of the hoses clamped and after about 2 gallons it started leaking from under the water pump. It seems to be coming from the weep hole at the bottom, but I followed the installation service manual closely...
any ideas? I didn't forget any parts and everything fit together as it should with proper clearances. Does the seal just need to be broken in?
