I definitely replaced the o-rings on both sides, and the protective seal.

You may receive more inputs from the 996 Turbo forum, having replaced the water pump last summer myself and based on the drawing you posted, the water pump seems different between the NA (in this forum) and turbo cars.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I picked up a 2003 Turbo about 8 months ago. During the PPI it was noted that one of the lower seals on the water pump housing was leaking (parts 16, 17, 18 here ) I replaced them, and now it looks like one is leaking again. It seemed like a pretty straightforward job so I'm not sure where/how I messed this up. I definitely replaced the o-rings on both sides, and the protective seal. Anyone dealt with this before and can shed some light so I can get it right this time? Should I be replacing the water pump joining socket or is that reusable? Part number 99610623871 thanks

doh! Thanks for pointing that out. Thought I was in the turbo forum but I must've taken a wrong turn
