    I have coolant coming out of my water pump (dripping off the bottom) which looks like it is coming from the little (witness?) hole on the underside.
    There is obviously an oil seal and a water seal. Can the seals be replaced on these? I don't want to have to use one of my NOS ones if I don't absolutely have to.
    Thanks.

    Dudes on the V4 Honda BBS have been making water pump rebuild kits for a while now. You can't replace just the seal so you'll need an entire kit. Check them out here: Coolant - Water Pump Rebuild Kit

    Thanks Jamie, I've already put a new pump in and will bookmark the site for the future. How long do water pumps normally last on these? Or is that like how long is a piece of string?
    Cheers
