Figure 5. Coolant marks on coolant connector union. Figure 6. Areas where coolant marks can be found. Technical Background The coolant pump housing is sealed off with a slip ring seal to the input shaft. To prevent the seal from drying up, a minor coolant leak is necessary to lubricate the seal. If coolant marks are detected in the area of the coolant pump housing during a service and there is no customer concern about coolant level/loss, a replacement of the coolant pump housing is not allowed.
