sooo mad

[cmills5081]

Did my timing belt water pump etc etc a few weeks ago anddd a couple days later I noticed my waterpump was leaking. Grrr!!!! Now im pissed... anyone know if everything has to pretty much come back off or what?? Looks like its prob leaking from the top right sol Idk if maybe the bolt just wasn't tightened or what. But it sucks because this is also causing me to have a belt squeel which is a pete peve of mine

basically it all has to come off again. You can try torquing that bolt again and see if it helps. But I doubt it will. If you end up taking it all apart again, another thing that can help is to use a thin layer of RTV on the gasket to help seal it better.

You could potentially get away with tightening the bolts up if one was loose but don't hold your breath. The correct way is to take it off, put a new gasket on with a THIN coat of RTV and torque the bolts down properly. You should also consider replacing the belt if it's getting soaked.

If it's leaking where the crossover pipe meets the pump then you put the o-ring in wrong. You can just remove crossover pipe and redo w/o taking off pump.
