no problem mate. glad to help.
the pump has 4 sides and a hole, the stock pump has this really nice, steel gasket(dimple ringed) that seals great. and bottom of pump is front pan sealed.(RTV it is)
if you just look at pan, you can see if others where there, if you see a gasket there. that be wrong. 1996+ (or 1998 + in canada)
the 4 sides can in fact leak or the hole (oil seal)
it will be obvious has heck cover off (belt) where its leaking...
just run engine dead cold top hot parked
see leaks. ?
yes/no
if yes, bingo
if not drive around the block.
repeat unit, leak is seen,
your on the easy path now.
for sure.
keep and open mind , until exact point of leak is found , then we go deeper. can even be china clone seal that is too small "O.D", (knock off disease)
take your time, if the leaks is small
no hurry, just find it.
also there can be casting flaws.... yes, keep open mind..
