Took ferox's suggestion, bought a compression gauge & fittings and just finished testing the compression. #1-162 lbs, #2 - 165 lbs, #3 - 170 lbs. Looks like the head is ok, yes? Also got a hand operated vaccum pump and got my brake lines bled properly. Wish I had time to fabricate onsk8"s homemade pump but needed to get this done before dark today.

The impellers' seal is notorious for failing, letting coolant past into the oil pan. Err, you mean down the weep hole, then onto the ground?

last time i changed a master cylinder i had the same problem. In the end i used a electric emergency tire pump, a valve stem, and a rubber end cap used on plumbing. Its a very ghetto version of somethign similar to this: faculty.ccp.edu/faculty/dreed/campingart/jettatech/bleeder/index.htmPressurize to around 20 psi, crack open bleeders and done. After that you should be able to bleed normally. I can only get about 15psi before popping the cap from the brake reservoir. 10~15psi works just fine as well . (modified a 1$ pick-lot reservoir cap and fitted it to a bleed bottle kit I had for my volvo)-RRJ

No water on the ground. In the engine oil only.

From what I understand when I pulled the cover off of the front of my justy engine, I saw that if a single seal goes bad, say the water pump seal, the water will drip straight into the chain compartment and down into the oil pan.
Same story with the oil pump, if the seal goes bad it will drip right back down into the pan.
But if we are talking about the small cover on the front of the big cover.
There are two little covers, the oil pump cover fastened with 3x10mm bolts and the water pump cover fastened with 5x12mm bolts.
The water or oil will drop straight onto the ground, or into the time belt cover.
