Water pump on the way out?

[clickman]

I tried Sunset a few years ago and they wouldn't ship to Canada.

Maybe it's time to see if that's changed...

From what ive read,Porsche pumps can weep a little which apparently is acceptable,how much im not sure but porsche does have a spec on it that dealers are aware off.Apparently the design of the pump warrents an acceptabe amount of leakage,probably very small amount.I have seen some start to leak and then totally stop.If the leak is coming from the weep hole on the shaft only it may be still ok,but i would pull the belt and feel for play and any roughness on the pump pully,they do have about 1 ml of play from new.Usually with minimal weep there will be a little white residue on the face of the pully only,yours unfortunately appears to be more than that.

Know anyone on this side? Ship it to them and then go down and visit them. Good excuse for a drive. Rough up the box a little to make it look older, so if they ask at the border about it you can tell them it is a spare that you are carrying because the one in the car is leaking and you didn't have time to put it in yet. You can even show them the leakage.
