[QUOTE="FJR Flyer, post: 861202, member: 15692"] Was down in western NC last weekend and had the water pump start with a slow drip on friday at a lunch stop. Saturday morning it was a steady drip coming out of the weep hole, almost a stream. No local dealers had anything in stock, of course, so we pulled the pump and did a picnic table dis-assembly at the camp ground. Appeared the mechanical seal had some slight contamination on it and was pushing fluid around between the seal edge and the pump housing to the weep hole. Bearings looked good, impeller was fine. Cleaned up the mechanical seal and inside of the pump housing. Applied a little Honda sealant on the housing side and reassembled. Hoped for the best and it held okay. Did a 100 mile test ride without any leaks. Rode home to MD on sunday and still had no problems. Ride in to work today looked good, too. A little shade tree mechanic mojo can go a long way. Ordered the parts yesterday from Zanotti's to have on hand. [/QUOTE]
