galvanic corrosion?

[Robert A. Jack]

Can anyone explain if this corrosion is a problem. I’m assuming it is a galvanic type corrosion. If not cleaned, can this result in a leak?

[Roy D. Cooke, Sr]

Yes it will .


I would look for an electrical low voltage electrical leak .... Roy...
Possible DC

I do see it also but look at the packing gland corrosion goes all the way to the hand wheel

I don't disagree with that but the green comes from a water leak guess we could talk about the super bowl that seems high on some threads
