Anyone have access to running an Oasis report ? I had one done when I bought the truck back in March but my wife thinks the truck was in water and asked me to post the question

I pulled the front cover. Discovered a hole that is approximately 3/16" in diameter. I then pulled the water pump off and found a large ~1/2" hole about 2" below the thermostat. There are also two wear holes that can be seen in the pictures. The lining that is over the inside of the cover is eaten away and there are several other places where the gasket route has been eroded.

I am sending more pics now Tom.

It's probably an after market water pump or something. He said it just doesn't look right
