Is there any problem adding a little water pump lube and anti corrosion additive to the antifreeze?

The water pump bearings are sealed from the coolant.  A water pump lube won't touch the bearings until the seal fails.  Engine coolants already have corrosion inhibitors.  If your coolant is old, just drain and refill with new.

Don't think the lube is for the bearings......supposed to lube the seal to keep it from failing.... :)

Yea it is more of a preservative for the rubber parts and a anti acid... Rollaids that's what it needs...LOL
