There is a small vent hole in the rear casting housing that bolts to the motor behind water pump that is seeping a little coolant. This motor has sat around for a while. Could someone describe what I'm in for and how and what I need to replace the seal. I believe by looking at the parts book that it is called a rotary seal part number 850-945.

Not sure about the rotax as I fly behind a Subaru but on a Chevy that would mean it is time to change the entire water pump not just a seal

M/y Rotax 912ul leaked for a few days, then stopped all on its own. Be patient for a bit and see what happens.

The engine in question here is a rebuilt 914 and coolant is coming out the weep hole.

George,

This is late as I have been out of town. I had some coolant leaking from my
912 UL after about 300 hours and the guys at Rotax - I think CPS told me to
put a proportional shot of bars leak in it and that was it.
