Buick35 Posted September 15, 2019 Share Posted September 15, 2019 Hi,I did the evaporust treatment in the cooling system and now I notice that the weep hole (it's on top of my pump )is wet so do I need to get a rebuilt pump or see if it will dry up on its own.I have a spare one to send off but it's the type with the packing but and not the sealed type. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pont35cpe Posted September 15, 2019 Share Posted September 15, 2019 Tighten the packing nut. I know it`s hard to find a wrench that will fit down in that tight space. I took a Porter-Cable router wrench and enlarged it to 1 3/16", works perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buick35 Posted September 15, 2019 Author Share Posted September 15, 2019 the one on it now dose not have a packing but but my spare one that seized up does.Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FLYER15015 Posted September 15, 2019 Share Posted September 15, 2019 Try "Bob's Automobilia" in California for the packing if you want to do it yourself. OR, send the leaker to "The Flying Dutchman" for a rebuild, and it will work like new.!!!!! Now take a good look at your frost /freeze plugs. I did my '40 LTD and ended up replacing 3 plugs. That stuff does a good job............. Mike in Colorado Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
