Hi again everyone!
It's been a while, but I've been busy with life and working up the civil-service ladder, and winter...
Anyway it's warmer here now and I just took my GL500 out of storage and got it running. Aside from a stone-dead battery that refused to fully charge and was replaced it fired up with no trouble thanks to the sta-bil, non-oxy, and the non-vacuum petcock I installed.
What happened when I got back from my first (too short) ride of 8 miles was that I noticed a slight coolant weep from the water pump weep-hole. I immediately thought the worst, but the reservoir and radiator are both full after checking the levels.
Is it common for a water pump to weep after lay-up, or is it nearing time for open-heart surgery?
If only I had a garage that I could rip the thing apart in It'd be halfway done already, but the downsize of high-rise condo life has advantages and disadvantages; mainly that I have a climate controlled underground garage, but that I have 300 neighbors and association bylaws....
