142k miles on original pump, I have turkey bastered the reservoir 3-4 times since new using Honda fluid.
On the middle of our few week trip to new York and I noticed after a 700 mile trip on interstate that I had a bit of fluid on bottom of pump, reservoir is about 1/2 down between full and low.
I think for sure the seal between the rear cover and pump is leaking. As the rest are inner seals.
I can buy a seal kit on rockauto for $20+ shipping.
Plus a shaft bearing for about $20? What brand is best/oem?
Or just buy a new pump for $225?
I think I can make it home just top off the reservoir And wipe it when filling up at Gas station?
Doesn't help that I am a 12 HR drive from my tools.
