I just recently bought a 1981 Goldwing with 26,000 miles on the clock. I havereplaced the timing belts, front fork seals, water pump and the twoo-rings on the water pump because of coolant leaking from the weep hole,probablydue totheprevious ownerusing the wrong coolant. After the new water pump & o rings were installed, I took transmission cover back off and replaced transcover gasket & 2 smallo-rings in each corner of the cover. Now I have oildripping from the weep hole of the water pump. What would be the next thing to check? I'm really stumped by this. Don't know if the problem is the water pump or o-rings. Can someone advise me?

I am going to order a new set of o-rings and a new set of sealing washers that go on the bolts I did not replace the washers the first time. The new water pump had a new oil seal and bearings already installed on the pump.

Thanks for the advise. I did not replace the oil seal that is stamped in the block some of the people that I talked to did not talk about the replacment of this seal . What is the easiest way to get the old seal out and put the new one in . I have not done this and if it comes out easy enough I have to also replace the oil seal that the shifter rod goes in because of oil leak.I have not seen a thread about the replacement of oil seals. Thanks.
