First off...I just found the site and am very glad i did. I was able to find out the info i needed to fix my water pump leak.
Secondly, I decided to do the weephole mod on the water pump. The only problem was the hardware store close to me had no taps or threaded barbs that would work. So I bought a plastic male to male 1/4 barb. Drilled out the weephole a tiny bit and then drove one end of the barb into the hole. I was then able to hook a rubber hose on the other end to complete the mod. Just giving an idea incase someone else runs into the same problem i did.
