Hey guys. I hope everyone had a good Christmas. I was looking at my stationary pump and it looks like the water pump seal is leaking. But when I pressurize the system to 16 PSI I don't lose any pressure. It clearly looks like it's weeping from the gasket. Should I just put a new seal on the water pump? I think it's leaking about half an ounce to one ounce a day. It's really bugging me cause it leaks all the way down the front timing cover and makes an ugly mess.
It's a John Deere 4024T281 engine if it matters. 4 Cyl 2.4L.
Edit. It's the original gasket. New pump is ~$600. Only has 500 hours.
