I use on my 12v and 24v VR6 engines, Eurowise aluminum thermostat housing and 42DD stainless steel crack pipe. Water pump I use GRAF or Hepu for its metal impeller.
If it *is* leaking you might want to consider replacing it with a Graf alloy-bodied pump which won’t be affected by heat and exposure to oil, the usual causes of eventual failure of the plastic pumps.
Graf has been pretty good to me.
I have the Graf brand on mine, replaced mine at around 120k miles. It’s aluminum and has aluminum impeller also.
I installed one on me 325i 12k miles ago, no issues so far, it was part of the FCP euro water pump kits
I've also had a Graf I think it was, it did have a metal impeller, which started leaking after 7 yrs.
what I had problems with is with Graf water pump, that was included as part of FCP euro cooling system kit, water pump seal around the bearing started pouring coolant like a waterfall after only 11k miles, I replaced it with a Stewart pump
the metal fins are spot welded like shit on these cheap metal waterpumps. my graf pump also started to leak from the weep hole after a year too
Have had bad luck with graf metal impeller pumps, multiple failures over 2 different cars.
