That's not my problem. My problem is a water drip/leak. But thanks for the heads up, anyway. I'll put a touch of Permatex on the threads up near the head of that bottom bolt before putting it back...

I seem to recall seeing a water pump rebuild how-to somewhere? What that somewhere here on the site, or in my MMI A4 maintenance and rebuilding manual?
Thanks,
