Interesting take from one of the guys on the other forum:
“Awesome pics. Never seen anyone take this apart. Appears be a shaftless ECM style (Electronically Commutated Motor) pump, like a hot tub circulation pump.
Now I'm confused. No coolant is supposed to be circulating inside the body (where the electronics are) and it appears to be dry and clean. So the o-ring is doing its job preventing outside contamination (and the stray coolant) from getting INSIDE. So where is the coolant leaking from? Can somebody clear my confusion?”
Awesome point this guy makes! I’ve got to think maybe the fluid is wicking up through the threads on the 1 screw holding the assembly together. 3 other screws go through the treaded casing. Only the one goes into the body. Screws appear to have thread compound. I’ll install a new o ring and thread sealant on the screws before equal torquing.
