This dont seem normal

I am changing my water pump in my 2000 f350 7.3, when I removed the bolts I found thick oil on the long bolt in the lower center of the pump was my first thought, is this a problem. First diesel I've owned and am learnin lots from this forum, just hope this truck aint dead before it really lives. Thanks, Woody

I just replaced mine last fall and didn't have anything on it. I wonder if the previous owner just put lube on it when he installed it. Just a guess....
