While cleaning things up for reassy after installing new water pump impeller, I noticed corrosion under the rear of the housing gasket that has lifted the paint. It has ate into the aluminum a bit so I'm not sure the casket would seal there. Should I use a water proof sealer under the gasket, clean and repaint or ignore it? I'm afraid that in 3-4 years when another pump maint is due it'll be much worse if I don't do something now.

Thanks, Mark
