[C320-list] Head weeping

[Paul Rickman]

The first thing I would try is to tighten the bolts at the base of
the pump. Slightly. The pump should be free from waste
and fairly clean.  Still, I'd wear rubber gloves.
 
Good luck.

I have done this job on my prior boat.  Just follow the directions but put a 
clothespin on your nose!!!!!
