This is a pump out repair.
I would first check if there's any play in the impeller shaft bearings.
This can be done by removing the lower radiator hose fitting from the engine.
Coolant needs to be drained to remove this fitting.
If there is play in the shaft then the pump should be rebuilt or replaced.
To do that the front cover has to be removed.
There are some O rings and a front cover gasket that need to be replaced when doing this job.

Yes!!!! I just went through that, got a set off ebay and replaced all of the front tranny gaskets and "O" rings. nary a drop since. I suggest the replacement of all those seals and "O" rings, however the water pump "O" ring is probablu the culpret. An easy job takes about an hour. You have to drain the radiator and take it loose and drain the engine oil. I just removed the radiator mounting nuts and removed the bolts from the water pump inlet housing. Removed the water pump and the oil filter. Then I was ablr to remove the bolts holding the front tranny cover. Be careful to clean thecasketsurfaces real carefully. there are several smaller "O" rings rhat need to be carefully placed. I used a smaoo amount of grease to keep them in place whild reinstalling the cover. I thind there is a thresd here that covers this procedure. It is a relativly simple procedure, It has to be I did it :cheeky: :cheeky: :smilie_happy: :smilie_happy:
