Coolant Seals...help Please
#13
Most likely your also going to need new Irons. Like the one in that picture. Due to the fact that they have been overheated, probably several times, there is a pretty good chance they are shot.When they get really hot, the metal warps, rendering them unuseable. But your'll just have to wait till you get it open to see everything thats wrong.

Use a straight edge and lay it across the housing to check if they are warped. Not sure of the measurement though. Where the seals meet the plate if you can catch it with your figner nail they are bad.

My orange coolant seals are further out then the black one and you can see it squeezing through the cracks between the housings
You're probably just seeing the rtv silicone used with the seals when the motor was put together last...
