Damn !
how did that happen !!?
new w pump  I assume.
I like to keep good working parts in service..........
but wbxr water pumps - considering how hard they are to replace with the
engine in the van ...........I put new ones on engines getting head jobs
etc.
I also use black Toyota silicone on the water pump 0-ring, and thick red
permatex high-tack gasket sealer on both sides of the paper gaskets.
And don't usually have any problems.
hope you get it easily !
Scott
