Hey, just wondering if anyone has any idea about water pumps and (in particular) why mine started to piss out water (fast drip) from a hole on the lowest part of the pump. I have taken the pump out and it looks like the hole in the pump is supposed to be there, but it shouldn't leak.

Just wondering if you have any ideas on, how to fix or what's causing it.

Thanks

Muzz

(if your wondering, its from a 1971 mini k)

Seal in pump has gone, that hole is there so the water doesn't (shouldn't) go thru the pump bearings.
It's stuffed mate, go buy a new pump, they are CHEAP now.
