So looks like water pump time? A question...

Others may add to this. Few threads already...

I’ve already got Porsche blood in it, so that’s easy. No other leaks either. I’ve read that a tiny bit of seep from the pump is “within specs”. Whatever that means. I think the most challengeing part would be transferring a bucket full of coolant to some other container. Or, just buy a pump and call it good. I will most likely go Pierburg or just do the Porsche pump, Suncoast has them on sale for 260.00. And of course do a low temp thermostat while I’m there.
