glang Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 Hi, it's very likely that the pump seal will leak if it hasn't been used in a long time. These aren't replaceable so a new pump is usually the best solution especially as they're not too expensive. You could try the pump first under running conditions to check it before shelling out...

PeteStupps Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 To be fair, if you buy a new one it might leak as well! My latest one started weeping slightly within 1000 miles... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
