I'm aware of the possible leak from the water pump pressure testing the cooling system indicated a major leak because the system held no pressure at all and there was no sign of any external leak anywhere. I hope that the waterpump does not turn out to be the new weak link now that the manifold is fixed.

Default coolant leak

Keep a close eye on your oil for water... If the weep hole is blocked and the seals are bad theres only one place for the coolant to go ,,,,in the oil if its cought intime the repair is not to bad ...LETS us know what you find,,,....

Also i would think a nother way to check the seals is to pull the dip stick put your thumb tightly over the fill tube then pump up the system if you can feel prusser building at your thumb its your seals...I am not sure his wil work but i ould give it a try....also the weep hole is a tough nut to find if your cooland is drained down yu may not see any think leaking
