Mars Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 There is fluid leaking below the packing nut. It seems like it’s botttomed out.Do I back off the nut and rewrap? I think a little drip is ok,but it’s getting worse. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bloo Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 (edited) Is this a water pump? If so, yes. In that case don't make it stop leaking completely, it should stay a little damp below there but not leak very much at all. If you seal it 100% the packing and shaft will burn up. The nut shouldn't be bottomed. It should adjust. Edited July 28, 2021 by Bloo (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
