Basically the only way water can get in the oil is if there is a corrosion hole in the housing behind the pump impellor. Water pumps have only 1 seal and if that leaks water will drain from a hole in the pump housing under neath the pump.

SOURCE: water leak

That water leaking is due to a head gasket pressurizing the system. That's usually one of the first signs of trouble on the horizon. The seal is not the culprit. You can check the water pump seal by draining the oil. If you have any coolant in it then you may be lucky and just have a pump seal blown in which case it is a relatively easy fix. You will need to remove the side cover and the water pump impeller to get to the seal. You can use a seal puller to get the old one out and I would use a socket or something the same size as the OUTSIDE of the new seal. DO NOT let anything hit the inside of the seal or you will kill it.
I really hate to tell you this but most often it's a head gasket leaking that causes the water problem. Is it just a drop her and there or is it pretty obvious? That makes a huge difference. If the bike gets really hot you can over pressurize the system causing the seal to weep/leak, if it drips on a regular basis then the HG needs to be replaced.

SOURCE: 2000 yz125 - Water pump seal change

The two seals in the diagram below are separated by the casing they fit into. The impeller is threaded to screw onto the impeller shaft. I think you already knew that by your "holding the tire" note. The center casing does not get split. The right casing does remove then a wrench is used on the shaft as the impeller unscrews counter clockwise. It is risky to "Lock the wheel" because the gear on the impeller is very thin and can break.

A “very helpful” rating on this answer? Thanks!

SOURCE: Fork seal replacement on 82 yamaha 750 seca

On the top and bottom parts of the triple tree either both or one will have bolts. First take the fender off. Take the front tire off. Loosen the bolts on the triple tree. They should slide down. If not you have to get a rubber mallet and tap on the top of the fork and twist the fork as you are doing this. Once it is out, pull the dust seal off the top of the lower fork. There will be a clip inside, take the clip off drain the oil out of the top or bottom depending on how the forks are made. Push the fork tube down into the lower fork slightly, pull both apart with a firm tug and they should separate.

Yz 250 water pump leak

Hi mate this will be the oil & water seals the leak from weep hole is basically a warning light to tell you it needs replacing asap, you need to remove impellor, carefull not to lose the spacer washer behind it...then remove the water seal clean the surface it came from and replace with new seal. Now to do this 100% I would always replace the impeller shaft as the shaft wearing is usually what caused the seal to fail and I would also replace the oil seal which is the other side of case that you just changed the water seal (oil seal sits behind the small bearing) I would also consider replacing this bearing but maybe not critical? all up the impellor shaft the 2 seals and bearing last time I bought cost about $160... no special tools required just quite a bit of time required as you should really remove the outer engine case to access the impellor to undo it and to get to the oil seal and bearing, how ever I know guys do just open the water pump cover then rattle gun off the impellor only replace the water seal then install the impellor and cover back on then ride away! this will work and will fix the leak but is definitely the incorrect way to repair this and will be temporary fix but thought you may like to know this alternative as is very handy way to do it if your on a race meeting and just need to get through the last race or two.

hope this help cheers... Moto X Parts online.com

Husqvarna 141 oil leak

This model was notorious for leaking oil, there were a number of issues, one of which was the fit of the seals around the oil pump assembly, the inner and outer sealing was replaced by a single piece seal to make it better part no. 545037101, there were also issues with the oil tank itself, the outer half was friction welded on to the inner, some of the seams were not very good and oil would leak from there, in very extreme cases the muffler would leak exhaust gas onto the top of the tank and melt a hole in the tank.

I have an oil leak from a drain hole in front of engine.what could be the problem?

If the oil plug bolt is leaking you need a new aluminum sealing washer. There are no oil weep holes in the front of the motor. Is it the weep hole under the water pump? You probably have a bad water pump seal or a bad oil seal on the water pump shaft. Buy a new water pump and the K&L water pump gasket kit. The K&L gasket kit comes with all the gaskets, seals, and washers necessary to do the water pump replacement for a fraction of the cost of the OEM Honda individual gaskets, seals, and washers.

I have a 2003 VL 800 Suzuki. I have oil leaking from behind the water pump housing. And yes it is coming out of the small hole behind the water pump. Could this be the oil seal on the water pump? Steve

yes steve- this is the water pump by-pass hole. There is a secondary backup al behind it to stop the water entring the gearbox. Replace the waterpump seal. Most suzukis' use a mechanical seal. they are prity easy to change- although usually requires removal of the clutch cover. I always replace the mechanical seal, back up seal & the bearing all at once.If it is a standard seal type- be sure to ckeck the shaft of the impellor for groves worn in it where the seal contacts the shaft - in mechanical type seals this does not apply.
Hope this helps regards

My 06 yamaha 450 gtyr has coolant coming out of the bypass hose under the water pump. I need help

If you mean the small hole under the pump, this is the telltale hole to show the seal is leaking.There is one seal to keep the oil in the engine and one seal to keep water in, and the hole is in a space between the two, you may need to replace the shaft as well if is grooved or corroded.

Leaking water from bottom

Hello there:
If the washer leaks all the time, check these: Hot and cold water fill hoses - Check the hot and cold water hoses from the household plumbing. If either hose is leaking, tighten it or replace it, as appropriate. Main tub seal - The main tub seal is located between the transmission and the outer tub. It's the primary water seal in the outer tub for the transmission-shaft entry point. If this seal leaks, you can see the leak by opening up the machine's main access panel while the machine is full of water with a small amount of detergent in it. The leak appears at the underside of the outer tub, at or near the center. This seal is difficult to replace. You probably should call a qualified appliance repair technician. Pump - If the pump leaks, you can probably spot the leak when the tub is full of water. The pump has two or more black rubber or plastic hoses attached to it and usually has a drive belt that spins the pump. If the pump is leaking, you need to replace it. Outer tub - Over time, the steel or plastic outer tubs can rust, split, or be punctured. If this happens, you may have to replace the entire outer tub-

I have antifreeze leeking out a pin hole under the water pump

It is very likely the water pump seal. It is always a good idea to replace the bearing while you have it opened up.
