Okay, folks…i could use some help. I went ahead and pulled my water pump off so I could inspect and clean the coolant distribution tube. Here is what I have…
Clearly a lot of silicone had been used (back to my question of what gasket sealant should be used). In this case, it was a lot more than should be needed. This clearly at least one of the coolant leaks I have. I know the radiator does have one small leak.
Now, from other posts, it sounds like the coolant distribution tube should slide out. Is that right? Take a look at the condition of what I found. I would sure like some guidance on next steps. I know that Allen did flush the system and all of the coolant that came out of the block was very clean. So that’s good.
Note that the small hole above the tube on the block was full of crud, but everything else was very clean. The corresponding hole on the pump was full of silicone.
