[Healeys] Water pump leak

[Michael Salter]

There was an AEC2019 original body casting for the late pumps which had no
facility for lubrication because this pump used a sealed cartridge type
bearing.
The earlier versions of the AEC2019 did have a lubrication hole which was
closed off with a plug.
This is a picture of the bottom such a pump casting,

For Keith the hole with the rust stains is where coolant that leaks past
the seal leaks out.
