Just got my rebuilt engine and trans in the 60 and everything hooked up and looking good, detailed everything to correct colors and rebuilt or replaced everything under the hood.
My problem is that after filling the rad and top tank with new antifreeze (thats a 50/50 mix of green antifreeze with distilled water as was recommended by one of the members) I seem to have a small leak. I noticed antifreeze on the floor and after investigating there is a small drip from the waterpump. It appears to be coming from near the vent hole? in the casting which is under the pully shaft and then running down and dripping off the casting. I have not even started the engine yet so it is strickly leaking off of the pressure of the fluid.
Has anyone any suggestions to what may be causing this? Is this a normal thing or am I going to have to tear everything apart and put a new pump on?
Anyone's help would be greatly appreciated! Never run into a problem like this before.
