Re: Coolant warning

Don't believe it is the pump's gasket that seeps, or weeps, if you will. It is rather the seal that surrounds the pump's shaft, mounting the shaft into the pump body. On this shaft are the pully, the seal, & inside the pumps 's body, the impeller. The shaft & all attached are turned by the cogged serpentine belt. Back in the day, these seals were either ceramic or neoprene - not sure about our pump's seal. They are not serviceable.
