Until it started to get colder, I didn't even know there was a AWP on my car.

Mine started leaking last week. I thought the housing for the impeller was leaking, turned out to be a loose hose clamp on the outlet side. I took it out and cleaned it and RTVed the housing just in case. I also cleaned the rust and scale off the fitting at the IM and the inside of the hose. To get a better seal I cut off about 1/4" of hose that was soft and re-attached the clamp where the hose was in better shape. I will replace the hose. I just wanted to put the pump back into service.
Now the temperature gauge is a couple of degrees higher when stopped in traffic. Turning on the heat should lower the tempreature. What's up?
