i just replaced my water pump a couple days ago and it is leaking coolant...i cleaned the area up and torqued the bolts down to spec, crossed torqued...

when i removed the old one i did see that there was green around the old gasket(on the pump itself)...will coolant clog the small leak from drying up when the car is off in between the gasket??? or what should i do to stop it?

 

bump

 

no coolant sould deffenatly not be leaking. Your gasket must not be sealed rite. Im not sure though without looking at it but i know it souldnt be leaking

 

It will continue to leak until properly fixed or you run out of coolant.

 

wow i guess i have to take everything back off again?!?!? can't i just use some "no leak" stuff golden eagle makes to stop a minor leak? it is very minor

 

you could try it
it worth a try and you wont lose anything from trying it

 

yea i was just researching and ppl have good results from Bar's Leaks Aluminum Powder Radiator Stop Leak...
anyone use this or suggest it?

 

I have used a radiator stop leak, and it worked, but that was for a small leak, and it sounds like you have a major leak. Give the radiator stop leak a try, but be prepared to take everything apart, and I would plan to buy a new water pump gasket instead of re-using the one currently on the car.

You might have pinched the gasket when you put it on? Good Luck!
