Tricky-Ricky Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 Maybe i am being a little, but given recent events with my car you can't really blame me, got my car back last night, today i took it around town and then off into the country for about 20 mls, didn't really get on the boost much, .5 bar and didn't get the revs up more than 5,000 RPM as i am just giving my new pump a chance to settle in a bit, anyway had it up on the jack tonight and looked to check around the pump area, and find a very small weep, enough to run along the first part of the sump, couldn't see any evidence of drips, but that doesn't mean that there arnt any! now the 64,000 dollar question, is the seal weeping? is there a small crack in the pump casing, or is it just the residue from where the garage didn't wash out the bottom cam belt cover thats accumulated? or am i just being paranoid?

AshBhp Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 Yes give it a good wipe, drive again and check again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tricky-Ricky Posted June 13, 2007 Author Share Posted June 13, 2007 I wiped off all i could see, if its not chucking it down tomorrow I'll take it out again and then check for more, due to take the misses away for a couple of days from Friday so its going to put me on edge the whole time, bugger! getting a Little disheartened with Supras at the moment:( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tricky-Ricky Posted June 14, 2007 Author Share Posted June 14, 2007 Happy now just been for a 35 ml trip and given it a little stick, still don't think i got more than 5,500RPM but did manage 1.3 BAR:) on checking there is no sign of oil, so it must have been residue in the cover.

Chris Wilson Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 Give it all a good spray with brake cleaner, that'll shift any residue. Good luck!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tricky-Ricky Posted June 18, 2007 Author Share Posted June 18, 2007 Well after doing about 170 mls over the weekend, bit of boost but nothing serious as i had the misses with me, no signs of oil, so far so good! once a RR day and a bit of serious testing is out of the way, perhaps i can relax and just enjoy the car again.
