Hello all,
I need advice, as my 1993 Volvo 240 has a occasional leak on the gasket of the water pump. Pump is working and pushing the coolant and I am 30K miles away from replacing the timing belt.
I think that is only a bad seal issue, so I am planning to clean the gasket and put sealant around the current gasket to hopefully seal the leak. I prefer not to use coolant sealers that are mix with coolant.
Is Permatex Aviation 3 good sealant to use for this application or should I use something else?
Thank you
