    Weep hole not plugged. I cannot see how it can be w.p. either. I wish by some miracle it is or can be.

    Update 1st oil analysis done since new water pump out on.Blackstone Lab's say's there is no longer internal coolant leak! I still don't see how the w.p had this affect? Potassium went down from 135 ppm to 7 ppm same miles on both samples.

    I would of bet the farm against those who said it could be w.p. every shop person said could not be w.p. still don't get it, but the results are in.potassium and sodium are down over 98 % from last sample. thank you to all who gave their advice.

    That spinning shaft can wick stuff in thru the seal. The oil seal is likely getting tired too and it's active sealing surface is facing the oil.

    This is the first time on my ser 60 that the impeller spun on the shaft. Always just had a oil or coolant leak when a seal went bad,leak thru weep hole.
