Default Water Pump Seal

Water Pump Seal

Dailyrider has been replacing his water pump seal at 50K intervals after it failed on him at some point.

We are still trying to find his writeup but with people approaching close to 50K miles its a service worth thinking about to reduce the chances of having oil mixing with coolant!!

Snowdog, you should have nothing to worry about for another season. I changed my original waterpump seals at 85,400 miles, which was about 5,000 more than I should have let them go. I was getting a tiny bit of coolant in the oil for about 5,000 miles. I would recommend changing them at 50,000 miles, that's the schedule I'll be working on from now on.

Sometimes it looks like you blew a seal but it's really just a little ice cream.
