Going over everythin on my car, it appears that I have a leak from one of the hoses behind my water pump. So I do need to pull the manifold to replace the hoses, and vacuum lines since I'll be in there anyways. But I'm not sure if my water pump is ok. It was replaced 2 years ago. All weap seals are clean with no traces of coolant. However, on the bottom of the shaft, behind the pully, it is covered with grease. I know that this grease is not leaking from the weap seal because not only is the inside clean, but the trail of grease doesn't connect over to the weap seal. Reading up on water pumps online, one site said that the weep seal is to allow excess grease out, rather than to push it in twards the water seal. So, should this be a cause for concern, or is this normal? -Robert vin 6585 "X"
