  • drip leak from upper water pump bolt

    Any history out there with minor drip leak form teh upper water pump bolt? During an oil change today at teh Chevy dealer the attendant noticed some coolant residue on the oil pan bolts, and traced it upward to the top water pump bolt on teh drivers side. He checked the coolant level and it was fine. He suggested I just watch it and see if there is a coolant level change over time. Any thots???

          I had the same thing happen to my 99 TA. It is most likely just the seal between the water pump and the block. Replace those and you will fine.

          You may want to check the pump out, while it is off the car, but if it is good and the leak is actually coming from the bolt area then just replace the seals and be done with it.
