Just replaced the water pump and noticed a leak from one the bolts just under the water port inlet. Pulled the pump off and I seem to have water in the bolt hole. Concerned I might have punch through to the water jacket. Same pump and same bolt??? any suggestions??? If I am right how is this repaired?

have had my Dodge for some time, during the winter when i turn on the heat, get this steam looking and radiator smell coming out of the vents, also fogs the wind shield up even after truck runs for awhile, doesn`t seem to go away, checked fluid and a/c ran low on refrigerant this summer. Any info ? Replies to this message: kcram (Oct 09, 2009 4:28 am)

Replying to: bigdog18 (Oct 08, 2009 5:11 am) The radiator smell in the vents is usually a sign of a bad heater core. The window fogging is a result of low AC refrigerant - the evaporator runs during defrosting to remove moisture in the air... if there's no/low refrigerant, the evap won't cycle properly and the humidity collects on the windows. kcram - Pickups/Wagons Host
