I have water leaking from my water pump bolts. It just started, but has left a little puddle under the car. Anyone know the cause and what I need to do to correct it?

you need to put thread sealent on the bolts. also make sure your using washers.

and that they are torqued to the proper spec.
I always see them over tightened but a few I have seen were loose enough that I could have taken them out by hand-and they were leaking! Check your specs and torque properly!

Are you sure it's the bolts and not the weep hole that is making the puddle?
