Water leak at/near pump bolt hole? 1956 322 Nailhead
This is my first 50’s Buick, a 56 Special, purchased at an estate sale; car sat for 15+ years. Got her running, but have a coolant leak.
It seems to be coming from or near the 2 bolt holes at the bottom of the water pump cover - the ones behind the fan pulley that are really hard to get to or even see. I can feel that the 2 bolts are missing from those holes. Dumb question: I assume bolts should be in them??!! These seem to be the smaller bolts; I see other bolts on the pump cover that appear to be larger.
So... if those bolts should be there, does anyone know correct size? And the easiest way to bolt them on?
Thanks in advance for any help!
