Well I bought a new metal heater hose tube from the dealer($16), the one
which goes into the water pump. It came with an o-ring but I also but
another($1.85), in case. I pulled out the stock metal tube, and the o-ring
which came with the new pump was broke in half. I am thinking, ok no biggie,
a new metal pipe/new o-ring will solve the leak. Well I am now out of all
o-rings, and the pipe is still leaking. I am draining the radiator again(so
I can have a dry surface for the gasket sealant), and I am going to buy yet
another o-ring tomorrow and try my luck with some sealant on the tube. I
have NO CLUE what else to do. BTW: The parts guy at the dealer said not to
use any sealant, as the o-ring will act as a seal. Well using some type of
sealant is my last hope/idea. Right now I have about 12 hours into this
frigin water pump, and at wits end.
