on the bottom of the water up....Im going to use one of shoebox's pics as a guide, hope he doesnt mind... but

see that hose right under the word "front" in green and white...that metal piece that my hose is connected too is covered in rust, now is this normal? his is shiney. any1 else's has rust on it, or should i have it looked at before it rusts thru and causes a leak of some sorts.

 

It should be fine, probably just from condensation. No biggie, hope this helps. prorac1

 

Those are stainless steel, so can't 'rust thru'... [and can't really be replaced readily since they 'press' in..]

 

It would take a while for it to rust thru. im restoring a 54 Chevy truck that has rust all over it and and has been sitting outside for many years, so i think you will be fine for a while. IMO

 

I repeat the AC Delco LT1 pump inserts are stainless steel and WON'T rust...

 

hey all thanks for the replies, I just wanted to make sure it wouldnt break and leak all over my opti, but looks like Im safe, I thank you.
