Hey guys, the other day while cruising about, my heater hose burst coz the outlet on the water pump was corroded and sharp, so i swapped my water pumps with one fromanother engine i had, and i made my own gasket and cleaned the surfaces and all that and put it back on the car and filled with water.. it leaked, at first i thought it was the gasket so i got some silicone and made myself a gasket with that... it still leaked, so i had a look at where it was leaking from and there was a random hole on the pump, which it was trickling out of, but this hole was on all my water pumps,
my question is, what are these holes for, because i sealed over the bottom one only to find that it now leakes out the top as well,
WTF??
i need to know if it matters if these holes are sealed or not, like what is the normal occurence for this water pump??
