Have you tried re-torquing the bolts that hold this pipe on?  Sometimes
the bolt heads actually strip out so you don't get a good final torque
on these.

Thanks,

Subject: sealant for coolant pipe

Hi all,
        I recently installed a new o-ring at the junction of the big
black water pipe (2.1 engine ) and the water pump. I cleaned both sides
thoroughly and installed the new o-ring. Now the thing leaks at this
junction. Does anyone have a suggestion of some type of sealant to
staunch the flow of coolant. Thanks. Rick Koller
