Water pump

Post by Lance McCaw »

Well I replaced my water pump seal and all the o-rings. I still have a slight leak. May order another seal and try that. No oil is dripinv on the floor cause it hits exhaust and burns. Should I even mess with it again. I thought about double sealing it. There is plenty of room for two seals. Opinions, thoughts ?

Gear oil leaking from the final drive will work its way forward on the drive shaft and leak out the boot onto the pipes. Just smell the oil you see, gear oil has a smell of its own.

After looking at my pictures during disassembling it could be the front bevel gear cover. which is the front end of the drive shaft.
