It's a new pump, or NOS? Anyway, it's new. It's very clean around the water pump and timing chain cover. I'll run a paper towel directly under the pump and see if it is wet, then post the results. I think I got it from Autozone, I'll have to look at receipts - but I don't think I went to a specialist on it. The puddle on the ground is not near where the hoses enter, nor is it near the radiator. It is centered directly under the timing chain cover. Anyway - paper towel time! _______________________________________________ AMC-list mailing list AMC-list@xxxxxxxxxxxx http://list.amc-list.com/listinfo.cgi/amc-list-amc-list.com
