John; Do you feel that we should drill the cap screws, or is this an isolated incident? JohnD

Subject: [FlyRotary] water pump bolts - warning
Rotarians,
After a run-up yesterday I noticed a very slow drip of coolant - about 1 drip every 10 seconds. I traced it to the water pump gasket. I looked more carefully and saw that the three short bolts were missing. Gone. No sign of them in the lower cowl either. I swear I put them in with lock-tight.
I mention this to Buly during phone conversation. He had found his water pump bolts loose recently too.
Something to watch out for.....
John
