i have a 1999 explorer that i thought had a head gasket leak but now i am getting alot of water in the crank case . i was told it could be the water pump. can any one give me advise
i notised a sharp edge in the back of the case under the jug but i think it is just the case seem is it comen to feel that i dont think i ever over heated it thanks

 

I had a similar issue my '03 600. It was the oil seal and water pump seal. The seal goes bad and it allows coolant into the lower part of the motor. For my machine I had to replace the water pump seal to get to the oil seal. Both were replaced and it has been fine. There was no indication that the water pump seal was bad because the weep hole was clogged.

 

you'll need to take the right side of the motor apart and like he said both seals(pay attention on how the old ones are installed) ,plus water pump gasket and side cover gasket ,i don't remember if you'll need a crank seal or not

 

thanks guys looks like i let it go a little to long i have it apart and i have to replase the baring on the water pump and the one on the crank i hope that is all i need i am gona flush the case several time befor i actualy ride it
