Alpha leak after impeller change? Water passage diagrams anywhere??

[glocklt4]

Alright guys, I am at a loss here. I replaced my impeller last fall during winterization and I cannot figure out if I have a problem with water coming out spots it is supposed to or not because I never really paid close enough attention when running on muffs before. I cannot find a diagram of water passages for the upper half of the drive ANYWHERE. I know how the lower half works, but the upper half is a mystery. Anyone have any?

So... does this look just like your alpha when running on muffs? Specifically looking at the water coming out right above the drive linkage on the top half of the drive (2nd half of video). I noticed last night after taking it apart again to verify everything, then hooking back up and running.. the water coming out of there is HOT once the engine warms up. So that indicates to me it is not a leak but normal.

Here's a video that is pretty self explanitory to help: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yIIjeuWUvX8

Thank you, Don. I appreciate it!

If anyone has an idea at all where to find some diagrams of the water tubes and cavities in the upper half, please post. I have spent quite a while searching here and everywhere inbetween, but all the diagrams are for the gears themselves.

Look in the Adults only sticky at the top of this forum. All the OEM service manuals are there.

Thanks Don. I've actually been looking through #14 (http://www.4shared.com/file/115650157/a164fcd6/Service_Manual_14.html ) a lot lately and nothing seems to show the path of that exhaust water going back into the drive that I can see.

The best I have found of that area is from 2A-7, this pic. It doesn't even show the water passage hole I videoed though (should be right above and behind the drive shift shaft):
