I'm maybe hours from my first start up on my 5.3 and notice a leak once i filled up with a good amount of coolant. Seems to be coming out of that bolted on panel on the back of the water pump. The pump came with my motor, 57K on it.

Anyone ever get a leak from there??? Man am i pissed, i've been dyin to get this car going and now another setback.

not much of a gasket on the rear cover if i remember correctly.....seems all the rubber type gaskets on the engine are crapping out on me.......leaks everywhere....just replaced the intake gaskets....they were shrunk and hardened

I have brand new pump to block gaskets. Leak slowed since i posted, but i bet its cause theres not much left in that chamber of the pump to leak.
