hey everyone, i have a coolant leak possibly from the o ring on the coolant tube on the back of the block, which connects to the water pump. anyone know any shortcuts on how to fix it, or has anyone else had that problem that knows a quick way to fix it, with out having to do it from underneath the car? thanks for everyones input.

Sure it's from the tube and not the pump itself? Which end? The tube I took off my spare block on the stand I almost didn't take off cuz it was stuck on there good!

just remove the crank case vent box and then the 2 bolts that hold the thermostate houseing onto the block. you might have to dissconnect a few hoses here and there but nothing too major. pull the tube out replace the o-ring, put some silicone paste on the or rind and reverse the steps.

here's a pic to get an idea of how easy it is.

because with JBweld, you're probably going to need more to get it to stop leaking...
