doug77,
The weep hole on my 83 Aspencade was leaking oil when I bought it. I lived with it for a couple of months, checking the oil level daily. It was slowly losing more oil every day. I checked around on the Internet for a new water pump then went to the local Honda dealer. They (surprisingly) were not any more expensive than getting one off the net by the time you add shipping. Even more surprisingly the parts manager remembered a seal kit Honda put out forbikes that were leaking oil (not water) from the weep hole. He looked it up and ordered it for me. It was only about $17.00 I think. It took a few hours to putin but hasn't leaked a drop of oil or water since! I think I spent more time cleaning the old gasket material off the mating surfaces than disassembly and reassembly combined.
