Re: water leak in 04 walter v drive
Yes, it is the 'traditional' adjustable type of stuffing box that looks like a big hex nut. A dripless type will not have any 'flats' to put a wrench on. I would have guessed that yours is 'dripless' (no adjustment). You are correct, 10 drop a minute (even when running) is plenty for either type. Neither type should drip at all at rest. Unfortunately you may be looking at pulling the engine to fix it. You should probably have someone take a look at it who is familiar with the type you have. At least a bit more water is better than not enough water (which can lead to siezing up & ripping itself apart, & damaging the shaft) Good luck.
