  • Hi everyone,

    As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.

    When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.

    Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.

    Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.

    Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.

    Thanks for your patience and support!

Oil leak from water pump housing?

I'm getting some oil seepage around the water pump on my 08 TXC250 ... It is not too bad but I don't like oil leaking from my engine...

It looks like it might be coming from the valve cover gasket and leaking down but I don't think so ... It looks like it is coming from around the water pump gasket ... Is this possible?

What is that hole for under the water pump housing? Can this be dripping oil?

Common Husky issue. The bolts are threaded all the way into the head and oil seeps through the threads. I just take one bolt out at a time, put a thin amount of high temp RTV on the threads and put it back in and repeat. Problem solved. The starter motor also sometimes has the same issue, if you've got one of those.
 
Mine is like that as well, actually it was quite a bit worse. One day I payed extra attention to scrubbing that area during a cleaning, made sure the bolts are tight and clean that area lightly ever since and it has stayed in check.

Every man/woman should have a tooth brush in their tool box!

Sweet! I'll give this a try along with the tooth brush :banana:
