[QUOTE="Sparkytech, post: 482062, member: 30358"] The gearbox seal looked pretty sketchy. As I mentioned, the RTV was a temporary fix to ensure the lower gearbox was totally sealed so I could test everything for function. The plan is to replace anything gasket or o-ring related as I disassemble / reassemble, and parts do seem inexpensive, so the water pump will likely be on my list. I just didn’t want to spend money and then find out there were larger issues that may not be worth the cost to repair. Tested it in the tank today and all seems to be functioning as normal again. Is there a particular vendor that anyone recommends for replacement parts? [/QUOTE]
