2002 Sportsman 500 leaking from water pump weep hole.
My 2002 Sportsman 500 has an oil leak from the weep hole under the water pump cover. It looks like it drained the entire crankcase onto the floor. I understand about the seal and it needs a special tool to remove and replace the seal.
I have spoke to a shop and was told it would be about 250 for labor plus the cost of parts. I have not been able to find the tool yet to see how much it would be.
Has anyone done this yourself? Or was it just easier to pay someone to do it? My other option is to buy a newer ATV as this one is 15 years old. But it does has less then 1000 miles and less then 300 hours on it.
Thanks
Mike
