It looks like there's a small amount of oil on the bolt and possibly weeping from the lower water pump bolt on my 99 XJ. Does it require a thread sealant or some RTV sealant?
When I did the water pump on my '00 I did not.
Everything turned out fine.
Best I can figure is that if a thread sealant is not needed, then the aluminum water pump body deforms slightly right under the bolt head, and thereby creating a water-tight seal.
