Hi everyone, just trying to get some advice on replacing a water pump. Had a coolant leak on my F type and replaced both lower and upper coolant pipes. After putting everything back together still had a small leak coming from the wayer pump so I also replaced that. Now no leaks from water pump but can't get the oil cooler connector that connects to the water pump to stop leaking. After multiple tries it still leaks from the oil cooler side. I just bought a new part and gasket and will be giving that another try. Anyone ran into this issue?

 

I haven't put mine back together yet but I do know when I fitted the oil cooler coolant pipe onto the oil cooler it felt loose. I bought the aluminum upgrade from EuroAmp. I thought it was defective/milled too big, but it wasn't. The o ring/seal that is on the pipe off the oil cooler was a bit worn. I bought a new one at the Jag dealer and the new pipe fits nice and snug. It is the same part number as the one that comes on the connecting pipe.

 

I will try with the new part and fresh gaskets. If it doesn't work I'm gonna try to come up with something. I rather it be a thick rubber pipe there with clamps.
