Yup, needs a rebuild. They're easy to do. Especially if you have a shop press, which I imagine you do.Jason

That's what the weep hole is for. It lets you know ahead of time when its on it way out. If you keep as is for a while, it won't go catastrophically but run it and see like above. Chances are it will not "heal" thyself. They usually weep out when the engine cools down. Not a phenomena isolated to old Rover stuff. Choose the route you want. I would put in a good one, be it a kit or replacement pump. For me, I would use the "inexpensive" one in a long distance spares kit.Comment

I rebuilt one of mine years ago and just used a vise, a press will probably be easier but a vice will work.1958 107 SW - Sold to a better home
