Now that I can get a look everything, the main shaft seal does not appear to be leaking. However it might be under pressure. However, I did notice something on the bottom of the pump - see picture -- that was leaking oil. I'm not sure what it is, but wonder if it's some kind of relief plug. It was essentially like as washer with an O-Ring that was covered by the plate in the left part of the picture. The plate is rather light metal. Also notice the plate has rust on the inner side; this is because the plate had been bent and was not complete flush with the pump body. That's not some sort of frost plug is it, in case you get water in the oil?? http://i892.photobucket.com/albums/ac126/johntbartels/photo-2.jpg</p></blockquote><p></p>
