4.3 GI PEFS Water pump

[Tail_Gunner]

The issue....It leaks and very mild stream from the rear seal i believe. Changed it three time's now and starts out good but always the same...slow leak.

Is there a known issue with the pumps, After looking closely at it .... there seems to be no imperfection's. It brass so i am not going to try and true anything that would makes things worse i assume...Does a guy just buy a new pump ....How can they slop out just hanging around like they do.

I should say it appears to be dripping from the rear seal...havnt put my head down there during operation could use a mirror i guess but i do not like to be anywhere near moving belts..Lost a thumb tip once ....Neva again.

Changing the pump is the only way I've found to fix them when they leak like that. Have never taken one apart after replacing (always gave them to the customer) so I have no idea what's in there that causes the problem. Bushings, bearings, other seals ????????? If you replace yours, take the old one apart and post some pictures of what's inside.

Are you talking about the raw water pump or the circulation pump? I was talking about the raw water pump on the front of the crankshaft pulley.
