need help......

[Ruffy]

okay guys so after the scare with the white oil appearing in the zzr250, the bike shop informed me it wasnt the head, just the water pump seal leaking water into the oil...only problem now is, i CANNOT for the life of me find the "seal" on ebay anywhere??? has anyone else had this issue with theres? any help would be great.

Cheers

there are 3 o rings
1 is on the outside of the pump body, sealing it from oil escape
the other 2 are between the inner pump body and the pump shaft.
any water leak from the outer o ring on the shaft 'should' leak out of the bleed hole in the bottom of the pump body; and you must be the most unlucky mofo for both seals to go simulatiously and bypass the bleed hole

now kawasaki doesnt sell the inner 2 orings, only the entire pump body at a ridiculas price, so when my one shat itself 5 years ago, i got a leaky one from the wreckers, dissassembled it and took the shaft/pump body to an engineering supply shop and got off the shelf orings to suit for about $15 (plus the time frigging around with the pump)

hope that helps
