W638 strange oil leak
Hi All
i have a w638 v class v230 petrol.
had a very minor water leak so changed water pump at local garage.
it then started to leak oil on closer inspection it turns out the oil is leaking from one of the bolts that holds the water pump on! Strange!
anyway took it off again replaced gasket yet still oil is coming out and also mixing with water in the waterpump.
what is this all about why on earth would this bolt go into anything containing oil should just bolt onto the blockbut no this bolt gos into it right into it.
any ideas I would assume the same problem will occur on other models using the 2.3 petrol engine.
Any ideas anyone.
thanks
Sam
