I see coolant around the water pump where the radiator hose connects to it. Where can I get this gasket and whats it called?

Also when I topped off the oil today I noticed the oil on the cap looked milky (?), does this mean my coolant seals going? It doesn't smoke or loose coolant and it runs like beast. This is probably around 40k on a basic kevin landers rebuild, very hard driving occasionally on low oil (slow oil leak from a line).

Thanks for the help,

 

if you got "scum" on top of the Oil Cap.it is NORMAL..it is Merely Condensation from the Oil..Think of it this way..the Car heats up, then Cools Down..the Water(moisture) gathers on top of the cap and is mixed up with some Oil's Slop on your cap...NOW..your Coolant Thing..the Water pump "Tells you " when it is on it's way out,when it Leaks from a Small WEEP hole on the Neck of the Water Pump.I would check that.The Gasket you should be able to get at an Auto parts Store..or (good God!)the Dealer..(Sorry had to say that Nasty Word!)

 

A little mayo on the cap isn't such a big deal as long as the oil in the pan doesn't look like that. Check the dipstick.

 

yeah, the filler neck is the highest point in the oil 'system',
so water goes to that point... totally normal

when I got the oil changed in my FC, the guy was telling me I had a blown head
I just shook my head and told him to just do my oil (I had a broken collar-bone btw)

and autozone's got cheap water pump's for like $25,
so replacing that and the gasket would be good about now

 

^^ i was about to say... if someone tells you that as they work on your car... i say run. whens the last time you changed the thermostat, water pump, little o-ring on the filler neck, hoses, coolant... original radiator?

 

I've never done any of that stuff and it is the original radiator. Thanks for the help guys.
