Test ride.

I have had the waterpump seal go a number of times. I just replace it and keep having fun. One time all my coolant went into the transmission. The good news was the engine has continued to run great after I replaced the seal. I didn't even lose any top end compression.


Some people have never had any issues with a waterpump seal.
