Water Pump Gland?

[JNadler]

Good afternoon y'all,

In the manual for my 2013 Roadster, it mentions checking the water pump "gland" while running through the inspection. Is this the little hole on the shaft of the pump? I believe mine is leaking ever so slightly but curious to know if others have knowledge on this.

Usually there is a weep hole on water pumps that if water leaks past the internal seal, it allows water to come out. If it's leaking there better fix it now rather than later.

Thanks for the info and can confirm after pulling the pump that it's weepin. Gonna change the pump, coolant, oil, and hoses while I got it all apart.

Order the Samco Sport hose set. You'll be glad you did.
