Electric water pump is leaking.
Hey fellas
I finally fire up my car for the first time since Winter. Over the the Winter I installed Double roller chain and electric water pump on my 93 vette. Now the coolant is leaking out from the bolts and where the surface mating area. The pump don't come with any kind gaskets.
What do you guys do to prevent its not leaking??????? Thanks for any helps.

You need to use an O-ring there, the same one used for the factory cover on the stock pump. Overpriced at about $6 at your local Chevy dealer.

The factory part had an O-ring that you need to reuse.

What a dummy me man. I thought about the o ring. But I don't know why I did not reuse the old o ring or buy a new one. hey... the freaking pump did not come with a o ring. So thought huh maybe it just don't need one. Big mistake. Thanks guys. You guy are awsome.
