Hi there. Yes, coolant was migrating underneath the plenum and got to the starter. Marc hadn?t seen it before. Whomever replaced the water pump made an RTV gasket that didn?t allow the bolts to be torqued to spec, as I recall the explanation. I never found coolant on the garage floor before the pump was re-sealed and the starter replaced.
