Water pump leak
I had a large puddle of antifreeze under the voyager this morning. Had a constant drip coming out of the weep hole of the water pump. I pulled the pump and the oil/water seal has not slid out of place like it's prone to do.
My questions are: Is this pump rebuildable and is the inner seal even available?
Thanks in advance for any and all advice

Re: Water pump leak
Do a search on this forum, I know there's somebody that sells rebuild kits but I can't remember who it is. I replaced mine last winter and I remember somebody saying that the rebuilt ones last longer than the replacements. I can't verify the longevity claim, maybe somebody else can.

Re: Water pump leak
I replaced my waterpump seal when I replaced my water manifold O-rings and coolant hoses during my 2014-2015 winter service.I got them from Carl Leo. You can get his contact information on this forum,but I do not have it handy.My seal had not slid out ,but coolant was leaking on the outside of the seal, between the seal and pump housing.When I installed the seal,I put a thin layer of red locktite on the outer surface of the seal to help hold it in place.I learned that about 6-7 years ago in our farm equipment repair shop to hold seals in place which are not a tight press fit.

Re: Water pump leak
I talked to Carl Leo. Because I was losing lots of coolant out of the W/P weep hole, he said that the ceramic seal had failed under the impeller which is not rebuildable.

Re: Water pump leak
I stand corrected, I had oil seeping out of my weephole,not coolant.cushman eagle wrote:I replaced my waterpump seal when I replaced my water manifold O-rings and coolant hoses during my 2014-2015 winter service.I got them from Carl Leo.

Re: Water pump leak
I have acquired a used pump that has been sitting for about 10 years that may or may not be good. Thanks for the offer, I may make a deal with you if this one is bad.
New pumps are high dollar. The best price I found was $223!
This is a great site, thanks for all the responses, and a special thanks to Carl Leo.
