Hi
Ive read thru most of the stuff on here I can find in relation to me wee prop but Im not sure if anything applys and im dont want to post on the back of an old topic. hope this ok. dont want to get beaten up on my first post!

Anyway I have had a few issues with over heating (not major over heating mind, just seem to “boil over” or just drop all the water out now and then. Anyway I have notice a wee leak which does not as far as I can see (not that you can see much!) its not coming from around the radiator. There is a seam here which is where is seems to be coming from…

I hope looking at the pics and what ive written might give someone a clue as to what it is and what to do. Thanks in advance.

Hi Karlos J,

From the picture it can be from the water pump, thats only place water may leaks.

It does look like a pump problem! check the nose of the pump ar maybe the pump gasket has failed?
