Has anyone had problems with installing a new waterpump and then having it leak from the weep hole? I recently purchased a 100% new bosch waterpump and installed it, it was leaking from the weep hole so I took it back and installed a new one. It was working perfectly but then a week later this one started leaking from the weep hole too. Its pissing me off because I have to keep changing these damn things and this $30 part is going to cause my engine to overheat do to running with no coolant. Did I use too much RTV? Has anyone else had this problem? I figured the pump would be decent quality as its a Bosch and not some japan brand pos. What should I do?
