    Just put a new Oring for the waterpump cover. (pear shaped Oring) Fixed the leak..Now noticing a small oil leak on the waterpump that attatches to tthe motor.? Is there a seal on the pump casing? I know there is a small Oring on the internal pump. Just wondering if there is a seal on the outer casing of the pump? Hope you all understand what Im talkin about...Thanks

    It is just an o'ring, the pump will slide out and the driven shaft is slotted. Replace the seal and align the shaft and good to go. Time estimate....1 beer.

    I don't know what's going on but the leak has stopped? I will keep an eye on it. All I can thnk of is that when I changed the cover Oring it messed with the oil seal inside. Hoping it just needed time to seat? Is your leak at the waterpump area? Just oil right? If so look up scamatics of that area and you will see a small Oring on the pump. That's prob it.
