Water pump leaks oil!!

Post by Cliff »

I was in the garage on the weekend, moving some stuff around, cleaning up, trying to make some room etc. and fired up the GT750B to move her. Fired right up, drove her out of the garage and left her running in the driveway. Went in, swept the garage floor and went back out to bring her in. What do I see under her but a puddle of oil!! No oil on the garage floor, but she's just puking the oil out the vent in the water pump cover out in the driveway!! I guess I know what my next project is!!

Sounds like the oil seal in the top of the pump just under the shaft bearing has failed, it will be an easy fix but can be time consuming.
Two strokes, its just that simple.
