leaking if you remove the timing cover, possibly with an inspection mirror. You can see where mine was leaking at the bottom of the water pump, timing belt was changed by some shop that the PO had chosen, only 6k miles. They didn't clean the block at all when I got in there.. not a single leak in almost 20k now, after scrubbing and cleaning, with just the O-ring.

Oh, and the leak only happened after driving and the car cooling down.

      - nissens is the OEM supplier, not sure what other options even exist   -  Matt Devo  2016-04-20 01:50:00 (215 views)
        
        The dealership is the other option when the aftermarket fails me.  -  B56  2016-04-18 08:54:09 (235 views)
        
        but a Nissens aftermarket _should_ be identical to the dealer part   -  Matt Devo  2016-04-20 16:46:54 (219 views)

        I appreciate the heads up. Just making sure we understand the difference  -  CvTech  2016-04-25 11:09:00 (206 views)
        
        not at all, just that there aren't really any other options and that one shouldn't have an issue   -  Matt Devo  2016-04-22 12:11:39 (230 views)
