Paudman Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 This probably means your seal is gone, you'll either need a new seal or more likely a replacement sealed-for-life pump. Does your pump have a nut on the end of the pulley, or is it flat? A nut means it can be dismantled and the seal replaced, if not it's sealed and can only be replaced.

Paudman Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 That's a good start!! If you're up to a bit of maintenance you'll need to get the impeller off the spindle, heat usually works but be careful not to damage it - use a thin gear puller and spread the load as much as possible. The seal looks like this:http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/TRIUMPH-HERALD-WATER-PUMP-SEAL-/310622939076?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item485291e7c4It fits as part number 6 in the diagram. Dig out the old one then replace the impeller carefully so as not to damage it, and a bit of plumber's solder makes it watertight again.Alternatively buy a modern replacement, they cost about £30 or so.
