Hi,
I changed the two lip seals on my Oberdorfer water pump because I had an important water leek. I put the pump back in place and started the engine. Everything looked good so far, no more leak. I let the engine run for 10 minutes and noticed that there was an oil leak that seemed to come through the bottom bolt on the water pump... the one that is hard to reach.
I gave it 1/2 a turn, still leaking... another 1/2 a turn... and so on, to notice that the bolt is always free turning. The threads are probably stripped. I tried to remove it and it's impossible. Tried to unscrew while pulling on the pump at the bolt location, using a flat head screw driver... now I feel I'm in big trouble. Any body has an idea ?
