Where's it dripping from? The petcock where the water comes out, or where it attaches to the radiator? On mine, it was just a matter of cleaning the petcock to get it to stop dripping. I guess when I drained the radiator, some funk got lodged in the threads on the way out. Hasn't dripped since. Aside from that, I got nothing.

Alright, I played with it some, and it appears to have stopped. Now that damn pipe with the o-ring is leaking... I usually put some silicone sealer on the oring where it goes in the pump. Make sure everything is really clean and dry first. I had one leak there before.

Last few wTer pumps I did on magnums, I used black RTV when I installed it. Smear it on the tube and fill the o-ring groove. As you insert it, the excess will push up and form a perfect bead around the circumference of the tube. Never had one leak.
