So the 'new' TR6 is leaking pretty badly from where the water pump mates to the block.
It looks like the PO didn't use a regular gasket but instead smeared some sort of gasket maker / sealer on instead.
So short of pulling the pump, any ways to fix?
Pump looks pretty new - but I dont have history on it. How do I check to see if it is still good, or should I just replace it as a matter of course?
