Water pump now leaking
Greased the water pump today and the grease pushed the seal out of the housing closer to the head which has now started to leak! Took the grease nipple out and tried to tap the seal back in but still leaks.
Anything to be done to cure? |

Re: Water pump now leaking
You should unscrew the packing nut when greasing the rear bushing, especially if it has a rear seal installed. I can't see how the seal could be pushed out though, unless it had too much end play. It only should have about .005" end play.
Just remove the pump and fix the seal. |

Take it out, take it apart and see what needs to be done to do it correctly.
