![]() Hey guys-
Last weekend I ripped out all of my a/c components. ![]() My question is...if the water pump seal was slightly broken...is there a chance that some coolant leaked down into my oil? I forgot what exactly was behind the water pump...and wasn't sure if the coolant could even reach the oil from there? I'm thinking everything is fine really. No coolant dripped down off the motor or anything. There was hardly any at all. I just wanted to see what you guys thought before starting it up?? |

![]() I think you're OK. The waterpump is mounted to the front cover, not the block. Some of the bolts go through the coolant passageways. That explains the water on the bolts. You're supposed to coat those bolts in something before you put them back in. I think its teflon tape or silicone. Maybe some other goo. If you're stilll concerned, just change the oil. I mixed oil and coolant once under load when my gasket broke and nothing bad happened. I probably got lucky though.
