Bravo 3 leaking antifreeze

[Coz]

After winterizing and running antifreeze through, one of my drives leaks antifreeze through the intake ports. Is that cause for concern?

nope,as long as you drained everything first , just some in the hose draining out

I would think that’s a sign that one or more impeller vanes are missing or worn.

That's what I was afraid of. It's been dripping for 6 weeks. Guess it's time I learned how to change out impellers.

I wouldn't worry too much about it. B3 impellers fit very tight, but liquid does make it past - albeit very slowly. Also sometimes depends on just how the impeller "sits" when it stops compared to the inlet opening. If it's been a while since you replaced it, though, go ahead and do and chalk it up to "PM". But it's pretty normal to see dripping.
