Where's it leak from? There's so many places on the pump where it could leak, that we need a little more precise info.

It's possible that it is a gasket problem.But try to loate exactly where it is dripping from.Waterpumps have spitters in the shaft.They are wear indicators.If water is coming out of this hole then yoy need a new waterpump,if it's the gasket I think you'd be better off putting a new gasket on.Save yourself the headache.

Exactly what I was implying. RTV will hold up, but we always suggest the gasket
