Water pump replacements, after obtaining this 30 Ford 5 window coupe, the water pump was replaced prior and is leaking more like a constant drip I tightened the nut and think I have it stopped however how much grease do you put in the zert to stop it. I remember a few years ago I had no high heat grease so I used regular grease and that was a mistake. It got in the rad so I have been running water in it and the grease has been coming to the top. I have used various things to clean out the rad but it still is not there yet. Any advise on what to use, someone told me to use pinesol in there and run the engine for about 10 minutes then drain it. I have drained the rad at least 15 times last year and just kept flushing it with the garden hose. Please advise.
