weep

My bike is leaking coolant out of the weep hole and it's also getting to the oil. The problem seems to be the water shaft seal if im correct. I was wondering if i should buy the oem one or if there is a better one from another manufacturer. Ive understood that the oem one isnt the best one...

Hi guys my bike starts leaking by the weep hole behind the water pump, it doesn't stop leaking when engine warm up a little. i read several foruns about the seal, but will be this case? i remove the water pump and didn't notice any failure on the seal (visual) only notice that the seal is in...

Water pump weep hole dripping coolant while bike on stand after very hot day. Bike not started. Any one else had this. Drip not from radiator over flow tube but from weep hole.

Hello! I have a Husaberg 650 FS from 2003. Two questions; 1: There is a weep hole near the water pump. It leaks oil from there. What do I need to change? 2. There is also a weep hole underneath the engine block, near the stator. It leaks oil here too. What do I do? Best regards...

I changed the water pump cover seal and now it's losing coolant really quick. It's dribbling out. Went for a ride around the block to warm it up and see what would happened, when I came back it was violently spitting the coolant out of the hole... I didn't touch the seal inside the impeller so...

I did an oil res mod on my 570 to increase the capacity. the first time i ran it, no problem just didn't work. I just rebuilt it with larger hoses. in the process, i overfilled the sump by 800cc, which then pushes oil to the res. while running the motor, started to notice a healthy weep hole...

I changed water and oil seals with new ones but oil still coming from weep hole. Bearing has two sides so may i install it wrong side? One side of bearing has an plastic so which side i have to put oil seal? Thanks.

Hello, I just reassembled my engine (and used heat shrink to protect the water pump (WP) seal when fitting the side case). When I fired it up, coolant began leaking from the weep hole once the bike reached operating temperature. I figured that it was the WP seal, so I replaced the old one...

:eek: 2004, 650 Hus Got oil leaking from weep hole, was just a few bubbles of water but now oil:( From reading earlier threads on this much discussed subject I understand that the water pump seal can be changed by just removing the pump but to repair the oil leak the clutch casing needs to be...

Hey everyone Bought a 2007 FE550 today. It's got the coolant drops coming out which only occur when the bikes warm. It's done 200 hours and probably never replaced. Can anyone tell me what part or part no. it will likely be? I have a hard time finding it in the spare parts booklet...

Hi, I have read heaps of the threads about this but I'm not too sure if I have something different going on or its just the same? I have a 2010 Fe390 3000km on it, never had a problem with the weep hole prior. But..... I just replaced the radiator fluid. drained all the old stuff out and put...

My FE 390 has always boiled gas and overheated; like my wife I knew what I was getting when I signed on. Two rides ago, I was over heating, boiling gas, and dribbling coolant out my weep hole 10 miles from nothing while trail blazing. In a hope to just get home I filled the radiator with water...

Can't seem to fix it. Found a grooved shaft first time, then set a new seal backwards which worked for a few races. Now I put a tube in the weep hole and it alternates water and oil. It's like a constant loss system. Taffy mentioned the balancer bearing can cause the wp seal to groove the...

Haskell in Idaho told me about this fix he made for his 09 570 to keep the junk out of the weep hole, and the water pump shaft area. Anyone who has replaced their water pump seal on the 09 on up bikes has probably found a good deal of grit in the area between the water pump seal and the engine...

Hey guys, I'm looking to simplify this by making a list of "must change" and "should change" parts for the famous "weep hole leak" be it oil or just coolant. KISS (Keep It Simple Stupid) Trying to make this easier for FNG's like me (Freakin' New Guy). I need to do the fix ASAP since my baby...

2009 Husaberg , weep hole leaking slowly . Anybody done a seal job ? What parts needed, how hard ? and cost ? THANKS............ FE 450

My 650 had developed a slight weep of oil from around 20 hours. I am at 109 hours now and today I noticed the color has changed to powdery white mixed with the oil. Oil looks fine in the sight glass and coolant looks fine. Just the color of the weep has started to change. What's happening...

Finally got my new 550 together and went for my first spin, stopped to look things over after about 5 km's. Low and behold the weep hole was leaking oil, not a great amount but enough to be noticeable. I wiped the oil off of the cases and continued on my ride checking the leak every so often...

where is this weep hole that can leak....it must be near the water pump?

Hi All, Does anybody know if Orangeberg is still doing the seal kits?, I have sent him two messages but got no reply. I rang Dan at Motoxotica but he has sold out, does anybody know anyone else that my stock them. Regards Sparks.
