Water Pump Leak

Post by lockwoodjohn »

Hi everyone, I emailed Carl Leo about the kits to replace the water pump oil seal. My '95 Voyager developed a oil leak left side , around the water pump, I am sure from reading the posts here I will be removing the pump and replacing the oil seal. I have a Service manual and did a lot of reading about doing the job. It will be another new experience for me. ANY ADVICE will be greatly appreciated. Thank you all in advance!! I will also be doing the coolant manafold O rings also. They are starting to weep . kill two birds with one stone. ( I hope)

Had a similar problem with my 2002 when I first got it. The water pump bearings were so worn, the impeller hit the inner housing each revolution. Broke the lower mounting bolt. Started leaking oil as the housing moved each revolution. Funny it never leaked a drop of coolant or heard any noise. Replaced the entire pump.
