Leak from around the bolts that hold the tank to the bowl i have changed them and still leaking?
Either the gaskets you put on aren't in place correctly (you need washers on both sides), or you didn't tighten the bolts enough. If you didn't replace them, that's likely your problem. Always use new washers when replacing hardware. If you did use new ones, there's also always the possibility that there's some minor debris or mineral residue in the holes if you didn't clean them good enough.
You also need to make sure that the tank is set correctly on the bowl - any misalignment can also cause a leak.
First tighten the bolts up, but don't go too far as you can crack the porcelain. If that doesn't work, drain it and start over. Take the bolts out, clean everything including the holes where the bolts go through, make sure you've got new rubber washers and that they're correctly placed against the tank surface under the metal washers. Make sure the bolts are aligned straight and that they're in the middle of the hole when you tighten the nuts.

How do you stop weep hole from leaking?
To stop a weep hole from leaking, first ensure that the hole is not clogged with debris, which can cause water to back up. If the hole is clear but still leaking, you can apply a waterproof sealant around the exterior of the weep hole to minimize water flow. Additionally, consider adjusting the drainage system or grading around the area to redirect water away from the weep hole. If problems persist, consulting a professional may be necessary to address underlying issues.

Will a leaking water pump in 1993 sable drip on the timing belt?
Not to my knowledge...but there is a gasket around the timing cover that will leak antifreez if it goes bad. It is a pain to replace, but it can be done. If you've replaced the water pump and it's still leaking (as was my case), then go one step further and replace the gasket around the timing cover. ***caution*** use a repair manual before attempting this!!! There are ***a lot *** of bolts to undo and some require sealant on them when they are replaced. The manual will tell you which ones to put sealant on. steve phx az

97 blazer transmission leaking at rear of pan I tightened the pan bolts and now its leaking worse?
I would recommend getting a transmission filter kit, and drop the pan entirely and just change the gasket, along with the filter. There's a specific pattern to tighten the pan bolts. (usually some kind of criss-cross pattern) Use a torque wrench and figure out EXACTLY how tight they should be and see if it still leaks. If it does, the pan itself might be distorted.
