I am finding droplets hanging under the waterpump on my 912, and from time
to time a small puddle below the plane (next morning)
The engine, more than 10 years old has 740h+ so I guess it is about time to
replace a seal and gasket. Does anyone on this forum have an idea of how
much water leakage that is acceptable? e.g if I can postpone the fix for
another couple of houndred of hours?
Have anyone of you had the same problem and replaced parts of the pump....if
so is it possible to do it without removing the engine from the plane
(Original AeroDesigns Pulsar)
Thank you in advance for any suggestions

I had a leak with the same features as yours. I was convinced it was a
water pump problem and bought a new pump and gaskets. They are still in a
box. Problem turned out to be a deteriorated water hose.

There is a small drain hole in the bottom of the water pump body casting (c
ommon to automotive water pumps also).- If you are patient with finding t
he right location for an inspection mirror with flash light pointed at the
mirror face, you should be able to view the drain hole for evidence of cool
ant droplets shortly after shutting down the engine.- I had a similar pro
blem about 40 tach hours back with an occasional small loss of coolant.-
I found the pump seal to be incompetent and stopped the leak with Aluma Sea
l.- Contrary to the claims of others, I have had good past results from t
his coolant additive without detrimental results in cooling efficiency.-
The wing tip lenses you shipped to me way back when worked out great...than

Last week a B2 made a low climbing turn over the bldg where I work. It was apparently
a response for a similar low pass and break done by an F-35. B2 is Northrop-Grumman
and F-34 is Lockheed. No rivalries here :)

Yesterday, I was driving to the airport to do some maintenance to the Pulsar when
I heard a strange jet engine close by. I slowed down and WOW, there it was,
a B2 making a slow climbing turn, at about 800 feet. If you have ever seen the
stealth bomber do a fly by, you know what I am talking about. I stopped the
car, right in the middle of the busy street, just so I could watch. What a powerful,
awe inspiring sight.
I am like most pilots, hear an engine and look up to see what it is and where it
is going. But, there are very few aircraft that grab my attention and hold me
spell bound and I will watch until they are out of sight; any Pulsar on the
ground or in the air, P51 with it's unique sound, and the B2. Each elicits a sense
of pride.
Man, I am already looking forward to Oshkosh and Lawrence. Great friends, good
food, and airplanes, life is good.

I have an occasional reoccurring drip in that area, too, but my drip is from the
hose.
Sometimes a few drips, then nothing for months, then a few drips to a teaspoon
the day after a flight, then nothing again for months.
No enough change to my overflow bottle to even measure.

Lasse,
More recently I have had a few drops too, intermittently. One thing I
found that probably contributed to the problem was that the sealing
washer in the pressure cap of the coolant distribution bottle on top of
the engine had perished and there were signs of some coolant loss there.
Also, not enough to even top up the overflow bottle.
I've inspected under the engine after shutting down and could find no
signs of leakage on the inside of the lower cowling, so I still don't
know where it is coming from. There is also the possibility of a few
drips from any of the lower coolant hoses, or their fittings into the
heads.

Do you know that Yaron Degani was killed in a plane crash.
