After changing my rubber coolant tubes and switching from Prestone to Dexcool my water pump is leaking from the bottom, I think from the gasket. The upper end of the Model 99 582 engine was rebuilt at 64 hours and I replaced this gasket (with a CPS gasket) and now it is leaking and the engine has only 69 hours after the change. Has anyone else experienced leaking after switching to Dex coolant (the orange stuff) ?

No leaking with Dex and distilled. Only a few hours, though.
