Default Water leak in threaded connectors

Permatex IIb non hardening is good gasket
stuff. It's mostly sold for automotive (like
thermostat gaskets on the engine). Rector-
seal #5 soft set is sold for water pipe threads.

If that's not the problem, Permatex No. 2 will pretty much stop any
leak, but it is alcohol soluble so don't use it for your still. (it's
also messy as hell, so keep some shop rags and a bottle of alcohol
handy...)

Won't hurt the cooler water pump? Never tried this, or even heard of it.
