water leak

[GazB]

A bit of advise needed before i do anymore.

 

I've split my water hose that goes to my turbo, no problem. Undo the anodised fittings one on the turbo and one on the water neck that is fixed to the block above the water pump.

 

I decided to take the section off by unbolting it from the block, disconnecting the sensors and removing the elbow from top rad feed.

 

All went well refitting i thought until i fired the car back up!

 

Now it leaks from the small section of vertical pipe that connects the section fixed to the block and the water pump grrrrr

 

Stripped it down again and discovered the rubber ring seal at the top of the small connecting pipe had broken, fitted a new one and now it leaks from the bottom of this small pipe were it connects to the water pump.

 

Finally the question is can you remove this small section of pipe and fit a new rubber ring seal to the bottom, if there is one?

Yes just replace the O rings rings, away you go

Thanks, I now have to remove the vertical pipe section which seems to be set in the hole.

Brute force will sort it I'm sure
