SX cobra water pump leak

[Sparkinator]

Just bought a 95 Four Winns with SX Cobra 5.0 and the water pump is leaking. The pump isn't on the block like a regular water pump, but is mounted under the alternator and driven by a drive belt. Couldn't tell exactly where the water is coming from, but the gaskets at the impeller and impeller itself look good. May be coming from the shaft. Is there a rebuild kit for this pump? and would it repair a leak around the shaft?

By the way, been a lurker on here for a while and it sure is a great forum.

Thanks

That is the raw water pump that pulls water from the drive. You also have an engine mounted water pump that circulate water within the engine.

My suggestion...buy a new water pump assembly. I know they aren't cheap.

If it's not the impeller cover leaking, replace the pump.
