Re: Stus-List Where is my Oberdorfer pump leaking from?

Ryan: Doug's explanation is likely correct. The seal on the pump side leaked so long that the motor mount of the cast iron oil pan beneath the pump was rusting out to the point where I considered its failure likely. I have the block to prove it. And it is free to anyone who wants to pick it up!!

Re: Stus-List Where is my Oberdorfer pump leaking from?

Ryan, It looks like it is leaking from the weep hole. There is a hole in the pump housing, between both shaft seals. One seal is for oil, the other is for coolant. This is a common place for leakage. The coolant rusts out the spring that holds the seal tight against the shaft. When you
