>After looking at the assembly, I see what you are talking about. The
pump itself is symmetrical and can be mounted in any of 3 positions. I
doubt seriously if it really makes any differenced which way it is
positioned unless you have an early type with a grease zerk for
lubricating the pump. If water leaks out to the bleed hole, it may pool
up if the hole is on top but will eventually find its way out once the
hole is full.

Unfortunately it will find its way out through the bearing washing away the
lubricant causing premature bearing failure.
