I have a 01 sp500 h.o. I started it today and let it run for about 5 min and then noticed some anti-freeze coming out of a small hole in the bottom of my water pump. It wasn't much, but I was wondering if this is normal. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

 

No that is not normal but has been an all too common problem. There is a mechanical seal inside that is leaking. Some replaced their own but if bend shaft is major problem. I took mine to dealer to have repaired about 80$.

 

my seal on the water pump went on my 04 500ho at 2000 miles talked to other polaris owners and they had leak also,they said mud gets in the hole and damages the seal.
