hard to see anything with the car together and pump pulley on

Yes, sounds just like mine....it was a very slow leak and I could not find it otherwise until I got to the pump as the drip was coming down and off another location making it seem like it was elsewhere. I hope you have a replacement already since some of the prices have gotten just ridiculous. It seems the best price ones now are from Corvette Central. At least the SAMCOs are easy to remove unlike the stock ones that seem to almost need to be cut off after awhile.

Yep those Dorman style clamps GM used are real fun in tight corners trying to get off. Especially down by the thermostat. The Samcos are so much easier, just wish they went a little easier on the Samco logo stamp thats everywhere. To be honest however, its nice to have a vendor that still supports the LT5. Those are becoming few and far between.

From what I understand this pump from Corvette Central is an OEM G.M. pump.The same pump some a$$holes are asking $400+ for.These price gougers are really starting to get on my nerves.This pump is $200 at Corvette Central.
