Ycould take it apart and see if it looks like the seal can be r&r'd. I
doubt it's really "volvo", probably someone else. Might be a piece of
something caught in the seal as well. If you just replaced the impeller
didn't you notice if the seal could be removed??? Also check the play in
the shaft as if that is sloppy that could be why it is leaking.
Overtightening the belt that drives these is hard on them.

Just changed all my drive belts and impeller, and now notice that the
Sea Water Pump is slowly leaking. I see signs that it was leaking
before I changed the belts. This is the pump that hangs off the side
of the engine, driven by a belt. Is there any way to replace the
shaft seals or buy a rebuilt pump? The price for the whole pump is
almost $300!!!! This is an unacceptable price since it's only a seal
that needs replacing. I'm tempted to just let it leak (fresh water
only).

Thanks,

Jim
