Need help with water pump gasket, Windsor
I know this is pretty basic, so just checking.
My 418w has sprung a "pin hole" spray type leak along the lower left side water pump gasket joint. Only leaks when get's hot or run hard and took forever to find. Pump is fine and temps are fine since it doesn't leak under normal running. What do I need to look out for in replacing all the gaskets on the front of the motor. What will be the best gasket (s) to get and replace while I'm at it? Thanks. |
Can't go wrong with FelPro gaskets and use a small amount (thin flim) of RTV Silicon
Clean all surfaces really well. Mark |
A good Felpro or Mr. Gasket gasket will work just fine. Make sure that the pump is not leaking between the pump and backing plate when you remove it. There will be a couple of gaskets in the kit, one between the backing plate and pump, and one between the backing plate and timing cover.

Maybe just snug down all the existing bolts again. Or a minor amount of radiator stop leak.
