What seal are you talking about? Need more detailed information. You may have a blown seal on your water pump. Check to see if any hoses are leaking. Check to see if any connectors are corroded or leaking.

Why would a 1992 Chevrolet Cavalier overheat when the radiator fan motor water pump thermostat and heatercore have been replaced and the system has been flushed?
It could be a head gasket or cracked head. With the engine cold, take the radiator cap off and crank the engine. If the head gasket is bad coolant should shoot out of the radiator. 12 inches to possibly hitting the hood.
Would using water instead of coolant cause engine to over heat?
Water is coolant!!! Pre mixed coolant comes with anti freeze and sometimes a rust inhibitor, other than that it does same job. Common sense being your guide. Do not use straight water during the winter. Varying ratios of water mixed to antifreeze will actually increase the boiling point in both winter and summer and is more benficial in summer in terms of cooling function. More Coolant/antifreeze less water (mixed) increases boiling point correspondingly. It is of greater benfit to use coolant/antifreeze in your engine because it prevents rust and corrosion in the various parts of cooling system and heating system (heater) and increases the boiling point. Check the coolant/antifreeze container for instructions on mixtures and learn from it.
You have an 1993 jeep Cherokee with 140000 miles and have noticed some foam on the oil dipstick Would that be caused by a bad head gasket or cracked head?
Blown head gasket
Hello is it a must to use gasket cement or glue when installing a new thermostat on a 1993 jeep Cherokee thanx?
you dont really need to us a gasket compound on your gasket thought i would put a little bit of black silicone on it. it can only help the seal
Grand Cherokee overheated and now will not start?
Run a compression test. When engines overheat the head(s) often warp causing the head gasket to blow. If you find low compression between any two cylinders OR if any of the sparkplugs are wet with water or coolant as you do the compression test, it's the head gasket and warped head. BTW, that's one of the most common problems that shows up after an engine has overheated.
What would cause engine oil to leak into antifreeze?
cracked head or bad gasket
Just had intake gasket done on 350 and I believe block was not drained properly if antifreeze was left in engine how fast would it wreck engine?
It would trash the engine bearings real quick. Antifreeze in the oil is a for sure engine getter. I just got done rebuilding a 98 350 vortec that had antifreeze in the oil do to the intake gasket leaking and all the engine bearings were trashed.
Why would a Kia mini van leak antifreeze through the muffler?
You either have a blown intake gasket or a blown head gasket.
What would cause oil to leak into the antifreeze reservoir on a Chevy Venture?
If it is motor oil in the anti freeze, then it is either a cracked head, cracked engine block, or a head gasket blown. If it is transmission fluid in your antifreeze, then the radiator is leaking from the transmission cooler ----- although usually that would cause antifreeze to be in your transmission fluid.
What causes engine oil to get into the antifreeze reservoir?
A bad head gasket can do that or an engine oil cooler gone bad in the radiator. The year, make and model info would help.
Is it safe to drive a vehicle that has antifreeze mixing with oil?
NO NO NO you can i guess but it will ruin your engine. You either have a cracked block or blown head gasket i would guess. Moisture in the engine will destroy it. In addition to a headgasket or cracked block (unlikely), would be cracked cylinder head, intake manifold gasket or manifold. What kind of car, what size engine? 1999 CADILLAC DEVILLE
How would you fix your 1990 Honda Civic if antifreeze leaks into engine oil but a pressure test can not find the leak?
Blown head gasket.
Why would a kx85 leak antifreeze?
maybe your head gasket
Why would the antifreeze be in the oil?
Head gasket Cracked head
Why is there oil in your antifreeze on a Saturn sl1?
You have either a blown head gasket or a cracked head. To determine if the head is cracked requires taking it off the engine and taking it to a machine shop and having it pressure checked. In an extreme case you could have an internal crack in the block but I would suspect the gasket and start there.
Why would antifreeze be pouring out of the exhaust on a 95 Chevy Beretta?
Blown head gasket or a cracked head. Do not drive this car. Serious engine damage will occur.
Can you drive a 98 Mustang from Washington to Texas with a cracked head gasket and how much would it cost to fix it?
NO DO NOT DO THIS. A BLOWN HEAD GASKET WILL LEAK ANTIFREEZE. CAUSING THE ENGINE TO OVERHEAT. I AM NOT SURE HOW MUCH IT WILL COST TO BE DONE BY A PROFFESIONAL.
