1 of 2 things happened , either the stud came out of the head when they pulled the tube nut out , or the stud broke off and whomever repaired it did something wrong.

thread sealer needs to be used , assuming the threads in the head aren't all boogered up , but to do this properly the cooling system needs to be drained , the stud pulled and the coolant cleaned from the hole in the head and the stud.

Or use a bottle of Moroso ceramic seal. any of the head gasket/cooling system stop leak stuff has the potential to clog the radiator and/or heater core...


The OP was just stating what he did himself about the pump. I was inquiring if this was leaking just now or has been for a while or??? Just trying to get more info as to the leak. We know pump has noting to do with this leak.

I agree with everything you stated John about the other issue he is having
