Hi all,
I've just been out spending some time with my 4.3LX Gen+ running on the flush muffs and checking thoroughly for any irregularities and/or leaks. First time I've ever really done this as I am now beginning to learn more about how everything works, thanks to BOC and the arrival of a Seloc manual etc
Anyway, I've noticed a teeny trickle/leak coming from the water circulating pump and have traced the source to one of two tiny holes in the main body of the pump casing. These two tiny holes are located above and below the "shaft" and actually look like they are meant to be bleed/overflow holes or something. IS this the case and thus do I not need to worry about the leak? The pump housing looks like this one:
The leak itself is literally one droplet every 5 or 6 seconds but the droplet is occasionally catching on the engine drive pulley directly below and getting "skit" onto other pulleys, particularly around the power steering pulley.
