Default 2nd Gen. Water Pump

The Notorious PINK LINE coming from a leaking water pump... Happened on the wife's '09 at 22,000+, now on my '08 at 38,000+... drop it off at 9:15, get a loaner and pick it up right around 3 hours later. I have read about this being a problem and sure enough both my HOTROD'S had the leaky weep hole... WARRANTY

this is something i think is super wierd... is that the tc water pumps fail they dont usually leak.

this really looks like someone at the factory isn't installing the xb2 ones incorrectly by either improper torque or not setting the gaskets right...

hmmmmmmm...

The xB2 has a "WEAP" hole that for some reason starts leaking... I don't know, but have read about it on some Forum to watch for this "PINK" stripe on the hood, up where the belts would spit it while spinning. The "PINK" is because the color of our coolant..
