Leaking water pump(won't seal)

Howdy Scotty,

    I recently purchased a 2007 Honda Ridgeline with 220,000 miles. I got it checked out and I was told it will need new brakes and I should get the timing bel kit put on but other than that great condition. 

 

    I had a local shop install a kit I bought from Autozone and now they say they can't get the water pump to seal. It was not leaking when I took it in. What can I do now?

 

Thank you for any help.

Bob.

Where is it leaking? The new pump may be defective. That's the problem with bringing your own parts to a mechanic, they're only guaranteeing their labor and you're on the hook for replacing a defective new part.


It's leaking around the seal. He said they we're going to reseal it and let it set overnight.


Hopefully the pump body isn't warped or cracked.


They say it's good now. Thanks for the input! {black}:crazy:


Keep eyes on that.
