Salutations fine people..!
I have a 2008 3.0L Volvo Penta and there is a leak. I've replaced the impeller and O-ring. Water is being pumped fine, however, the part which the impeller housing screws onto, is leaking. It's the part goes around the fixed part of the belt wheel. Problem is that there is a little circular hole that looks factory made, but has water leaking out of it. I can't get at this piece as it is fixed to the wheel which is fixed to the engine. Why the heck would they put a hole in there ? How do I stop that leak?? Did it rust open if it is suppose to be closed? Is it actually suppose to be there? Can't find any other info online..
Here's a pic to better explain....
