351W Water Pump Leakage
I noticed this last year when hibernating the Cobra for the winter and it is doing it again so I thought I would ask you folks in the know what is going on!
After the engine has not been run for a few days (10) there is a VERY slow leak from the hole in the bottom of the water pump! I drove the Cobra this past Saturday and so far no leak but it will start again in a few days. It makes a spot on the floor about 4" in diameter and pretty much stays that size.
Is this to be expected or is it time to change the WP?? The pump has a bit over 16K miles on it!!
