Replaced the water pump yesterday. I was surprised to find red RTV around the gasket surface. Quite a bit of it. A couple pretty good size globs hanging onto the inside surface even. Glad they were still hanging on. This seemed odd for the factory to do. And it had to be the factory. I bought it with 12.7 miles on it and I put 10 of those on test driving. Except for the ball joint recall and tires/alignment it has never seen a shop. I've done all the work it's ever needed.
Anyone else replaced the factory water pump and found the same?
