I have a couple questions concerning a leaky sr20 water pump… I’m quite sure that it isn’t leaking around the gasket, but it is leaking out of the two holes on the shaft part of the pump housing. One hole faces downward, and the other points to 3 o’clock. this leads me to believe that the shaft seal is gone and needs replacing. Does anyone have the part number for that shaft seal? If that fails, does anyone think it would be alright to drill and tap those holes and put in a set screw with liquid gasket??? Or are those hole there to allow slight leakage past the main seal to lubricate the bearing, and closing those holes up would mess up the bearing??? If none of those ideas work does anyone know if the usdm sr20de water pump will work on the sr20det???
thanks
