OIL leak at water pump.

Call the dealer 1st, I will check tomorrow, I bought one last fall for a 96 FLD120 with a 12.7. I do not remember it being that much new, but I'll double check when I log in tomorrow what it was exactly. I want to say in the $500-600 range new, but I could be way off. They did make a few different pan styles depending on the chassis.

I do have a good used one off a dead parts truck, I doubt the owner will want to sell it since we still have trucks that it fits, but I'll ask.

 

The front cover were the water pump mount bolts go in has a dimple if memory serves me right, if someone puts in to long a bolt they can break thru, What I do is try blowing into the hole if it blows thru then the cover is broken it is not that big of a deal.
What I do is solvent wash the hole, and then take the bolt and fill the threads with locktite 5699 gray silicone, and thread it in an torque it.
The dye is a Cummins part # 3376891
Just a thought!

 

New oil pan from Sherwood Freightliner last fall was $451.02. This was for part # 23522283, which may not be the same pan that you need, this was for a 96 FLD120.

 

You can get a leak going down the lines were the front cover and the block meat and the rear cover meats the block. To be certain it does not leak down those gaps is to wipe it off with solvent and put on silicone Locktite 5699, then install the pan with a new gasket and isolators. putting washers and other crap on the pan could cause a problem with the pan, I worked on the S60, from day one and only saw one pan cracked it was hit by a rock. I was involved with changing out a lot of Cat oil pans, cracking in the middle and Cummins from corroding thru.
Just a thought!

 

18-22 ft/lbs. There is a torque sequence, center working out. 1/8" of RTV across the front and rear structure joints.

 

You had a shop pull the water pump to reseal it and they missed that? What's the world coming to?
