Default Re: Lets talk leakless water pumps!

When I bought my car four years ago it had a "leakless pump" that had been installed by the previous owner. After eight years total it started leaking. I replaced it with another "leakless" just recently. Snyder's sells two kinds of leakless pumps, as you know. One of their pumps is totally greasless, the other one they sell
is considered leakless, but does have an option of having the ability of loosening the
packing nut and inserting the packing material. This one does also have one (1)
grease fittng on the backside. I bought the one that is totally greaseless and only
time will tell. If this one leaks, I will replace it with the cheapest model that has to
be greased every 500 miles and can be fitted with packing material. I have never
heard anything bad about the cheaper model. My personal opinion is that if you
keep an "A" long enough, and drive the pants off of it-----chances are it's going to
leak-----eventually. JMHO
