Re: Eliminate draft tube options
probably the gears have to come off, its been a long time
you could remove front mount and spin the pump with a drill down distributor hole to help confirm the source
I think the front mount bolts through block would have originally had nuts inside the block, and threading the holes was a common shortcut to allow easier removal of the mount plate. you said that you retapped for larger bolts,
and it sounds like the leak has gotten worse since you started working on it....maybe some thread locker for sealant on those 2 bolts before ripping it all apart again?
