Re: Antifreeze leaking from water pump
Harris<br /><br />The shaft seal is part of the water pump assembly usually. It is like an o-ring that goes between the spinning shaft of the water pump and the water pump body (casting)<br /><br />If you are leaking from the center of the water pump, it is that seal. If you are leaking from the edges, then it is gasket.<br /><br />For the amount of work to get the water pump off, I would just replace it with a new one for piece of mind and confidence. <br /><br />I got a new water pump for mine really cheap from NAPA Auto. They also sell marine parts<br /><br />good luck and remember to torque it back on properly or you could end up with a cracked water pump
