Noticed I had some coolant leaking from the water pump when belly plate was off. I am guessing I will need new seals?
How hard are seals to put in? Thanks.

Yeah I saw that video on YouTube. Looks pretty straight forward. I will be working on the sled Monday and I will let you guys know how it goes.

I didn't see any coolant coming off of the pump. I found that one of the hose clamps going to the throttle body had cut through the coolant line causing a leak to run down the hose and leak from the waterpump area.
