I bought one of those from Steel Wheel Ranch. It had some subsitute packing in it. It leaked, using IH packing helped, but it still leaked. I bought some of the graphite coated string from NAPA, it helped but still drips, slightly. The problem in both the old and new pumps is that the nut gets loose. The shaft, etc, appears identical to the original pump, except I think the shaft is metric. I can find no reason that both the old and new pump should leak, nothing visibly wrong with them, but the IH packing does not work well in them. The tolerances in both the old and new pump, including the packing are not exactly rocket science, but I don't know why either should leak. My personal opinion is a packing quality control problem, but I have found no one else with the same problem.
