With a 216 style w/pump mounted on a 235 with an adapter I get leaks at the two bolts going through the assembly. These are the holes under the half moon opening. Anyone have a solution? Thanks

I had the same issue and I reversed the two bolts, put a dab of silicone under the head which sealed the leak. I believe the leak path was through the threads between the nut and bolt.

Let it dry first 24 hours before refilling with antifreeze.


Here is the post where I discovered and resolved the issue.

You might also want to use Permatex Seal Lock on the threads. It stands up to gasoline, coolant, and oil.
