Strange water Leak (Urgent help toyspade)

[dnalunchie]

Headgasket was fine.

Water pump was fcuked

Replaced

Now all spiffy

Murphy's law says that the last headgasket job done on the car wasn't done properly.
Needs doing again.
Too much pressure blows the coolant our through the seal.

Steve

are u saying i don't know how to change a headgasket?
and even if that were true the cooling system could only be pressurized as much as the radiator cap will allow(15psi or so) therefore could not blow the seals on the pump, which aren't even rubber.

Yeah thats what he is saying. He thinks that you shouldnt have just used sealant instead of using a genuine gasket

...can't blow the headgasket if you don't have one!
