Reply To: WATER LEAK @ WATER PUMP

[David FaulknerParticipant]

Just to add to what Chris posted, at the impeller end of the shaft the face of the housing gets pitted over time and fitting a new seal alone may not stop the leak.

Rebuilt pumps from the club will/should (so phone Chris to double check) have had the pitted face machined and a spacer fitted as well as a new seal.

Not the cheapest option but unless you have the facilities to machine the water pump it may be better to get an exchange pump from TOC Spares rather than trying to fix a leak with a new seal that may not work.
