What It Means
Shaft Seal Leak
Likely Causes
- Mechanical shaft seal worn from normal use
- Pump operated dry (runs without water) which destroys seal quickly
- High system pressure accelerating seal wear
Next Checks
- Replace shaft seal kit — full seal replacement is required, not just O-rings
- Do not run pump dry under any circumstances
- Lubricate new seal faces with clean water during installation — no oil or petroleum
