2002 Volvo 5.0gl Raw Water Pump Leaking Water (pump mounter on crank shaft

[Pirana Joe]

Water is leaking from back of pump or out of small weep hole. Replaced the #6 seal facing the same direction as the old one. Started the engine up, leak is 50% better. Any advice, experience or direction will be much appreciated.

99% of the time when the seal leaks it flushes the lubrication out of the bearing and the seal kit wont fix it....you could take back apart and check bearing for play or roughness. But I bet it is time for new pump time.
