A couple of days ago I noticed my car was leaking a little bit of oil, I then put the car up on the hoist to inspect it. I noticed that the secondary oil pump or commonly known as the scavenge pump was leaking. I then took the o ring off the pump, used some black gasket sealer, reset the o ring then covered it in another layer of the gasket sealer.
Now the interesting part, when I went to put the four 10mm bolts that hold the pump to the cylinder head/valve cover I noticed that the one of the bolts wasn't really getting any tighter. I took it out and saw that it looked like halfway up the bolt the threads had been stretched. So I put a new bolt in and the exact same thing happened. and now the damn thing is still leaking (less then before) however enough to piss me off
!
Just wondering if anyone knows of any solutions to this problem or if anyone has had the same thing happen to them.
Thanks for all the help guys!
