[QUOTE="charismaticmegafauna, post: 461096, member: 665"] Well, yes -- although I haven't replaced/repaired a water pump on an FJR -- it is a fairly popular/standard design. And, I have done others (usually, on the insistance of the owners -- not, my recommendation). The seal is a mechanical face seal (ceramic) and doesn't [I]positively[/I] seal -- that's why the weep hole is there. I'd recommend watching the fluid loss and making a determination of just how serious an issue it is. Often, it's negligable. If you must repair/replace the water pump?, I'd look for a pump assembly (whole pump) -- although it certainly can be successfully repaired/rebuilt. No guarantee it won't let fluid out the weep hole again in the future, tho.... :o :( [/QUOTE]
