Hello,

My shark is virtually leak free with the exception of a small amount of coolant that shows up on the bottom of the TB tensioner. It's been doing this since I did the TB/ WP about 8 months ago. I even ripped everyting back apart and re-torqued the WP bolts. My mechanic just did a pressure test and couldn't find it. Does this look like a bad WP?

Thanks!

I may be wrong, but I believe one of the TB tensioner housing bolts penetrates into the water jacket. The bolt requires some sort of sealant to prevent leaking from the threads. This may be your issue.

The bolt that holds the roller arm to the block enters the water jacket.........needs sealant.
