Thanks fellas, its an alpha one cause it dosent have the pin on top of the pinion shaft. It sounds like its ok, I was kinda worried. Ill replace all the parts and seals in the top end, that should take care of it. When I took it apart , the seal right below the water pump base had poped up and out. thats where the leak was. Im glad I ask you all first! Thanks for all your tips and advice!!
