I have an older OD that over the winter I noticed lube residue seeping from the vents where I normally install muffs to rinse motor. I suspect seal has gone bad but do not know which one and is there a tool available for seal removal and replacement????

start by draining the lube and performing a pressure test to determine what is leaking

either the driveshaft seals or the seal under the water pump wear plate, easy fix.not rocket science here.

I replaced impeller last year but I don't recall the seal being easy to access to "pop" out. Do you have photo of what I missed?????? I have manual, which is not much good.
