<div style="color:black;font:10pt Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Thanks Michael. In the pic I sent did you notice the unusual pulley fitted? 3/8 pulley as well. It also has the lubrication hole. I ran the car today and with close looking spied the dribble from that lower hole you mentioned.

</div>
<div>I have another pump of unknown condition - took it off another BJ8 long long ago. No lube hole so must be for later car. Spins free with no play or grinding. Think I may make a gasket for it and put it on. Not much to lose but a little of my time which is cheap. <br clear="none">

<div style="color:black;font:10pt Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Thank you for the reply Michael. That hole is sort of rectangular and above the shaft right? I don't see anything coming from there. This is a 3/8 belt pulley. Pic attached.

<div>Look very carefully Keith and you will probably find that the leakage is from the hole in the casting just forward of the gasket.
<div>That hole is there to allow any coolant that comes past the seal to leak out before it can get into the bearings.</div>
<div>Those pumps are pretty easy to rebuild. The instructions are in the Workshop Manual and I have a kit for them.</div>
