This morning I went and see if I can remove the pump, first by removing the rubber hose that connects the pump to the engine block.
Was I ever surprised when the screw driver would not get a grip on the clamp screw, it just rotates the clamps around, no resistance at all. I took a closer look and found the clamp had snapped in the middle. I pulled it straight off the hose.
Guess what? I bet this is the source of the leak all along. Have been barking up the wrong tree. I am going to get a new hose and set of clamps today and probably will just put everything back together to see if it works. Geez, how could I have overlooked this simple check.
