I replaced my water pump at 100K miles in 1997. There is a "weeping" crondition from the seal with the cylinder head that I have had for some time. I tied Bars leaks in 2002 but the condition remains. Actually it is no big problem as the Coolant reservoir tank needs a slight topping up once in a long while to keep level but I want to know of any potential problems & any solution. I know it as about some deterioration of the sealing surface at the opening at the cylinder head where the seal goes.I remember using Permatex as a sealer. The car now has 180K+ miles. I intend to replace the pump at 200K miles.Is there a special seal available that can compensate ?
