Unknown Leaking Coolant Pipe to the WaterPump
I have a 1993 Volvo 940 Sedan, Non Turbo. It has 153,302 miles.
Leaking coolant from this red pipe. I just changed the waterpump so it can't be the waterpump. I was wondering if I can just get a new pipe or just put rtv on it and call it a day. If anyone need anymore info let me know what I need post.


Pictures are of another Volvo 940.
I will have pictures of my car up as soon as I get out of work today.

I couldn't see the pictures but from experience this pipe is often hard to seal to the water pump's housing, causing a leak. The pipe is a pipe, unless it's rusted through (rarely), it is pretty straight forward. I don't recommend any sealants for this, better redo the water pump making sure the O ring that the pipe goes into is correctly seated. Sorry, I hate redoing things too but the cooling system is one thing I don't like to take chances on...
I just got some rtv and putting in on now. Hopefully it does the trick
Agreed, thats why I put the water pump gasket RTV on there. I have never had a Form-A-Gasket fail on me. Plus thats how it was when I took it apart, as the pump was leaking from the paper gasket part but both rubber gaskets were tight, although cracked and dry rotted still sealed.
