Unhappy Coolant problem...

Ok, just installed the 50-trim after denting the pipe, plugging the banjo bolt and now...

It is leaking coolant right where (I believe) the water pipe connects with the water pump (right above the alternator). Is there any quick solutions...like...metal sealant or something? Or is it necessary to have the water pump redone? Or an alternative???

Guys, your input is REALLY appreciated!!!

You did put the o ring back on the water pipe right? Another stupid question what year is your car?

O-ring at pipe/coolant pump.

Re: Coolant problem...

There is one bolt holding the pipe onto the block. Remove that bolt and pull the pipe out of the water pump. Replace the o-ring on the pipe and lightly coat with sil-glide or dielectric grease.
