1985 ford f-250 with 460 Cid 7.5 lt. I just replaced the water pump and gasket and now I'm seeing water leaking from "the housing" directly behind the water pump. Does anybody know why this part is called so I can find a gasket for it if there is one? Thanks

That would be the timing cover housing.

Water pump has bolts that go thru that on now an old housing/gasket. Make sure, pressure test and see it from where. Timing cover should still be available if that or gasket set to do that. Do yourself a favor as you'll be looking at the timing chain if there and if not all metal cam gear or perfect toss it while there as you are so close,

You also want to examine that sealing edge on that cover when you get it off. If it's all pitted, you will have to replace the cover. You should also be replacing the timing chain if you go that far.

Yes to all of the above but had another thought. If you were sure it was the water pump to begin with make sure the bolts are all snug. Slight chance it isn't or got disturbed by the water pump job?
We all agree if that close do that chain - most of these motor even if a pig lasted forever!

I would bet the cover is pitted up. Lot of these never got the proper maintenance on the cooling system and it ate the timing covers right up. With HT, do the timing set while you are in there. Its damn near as old as I am.
