Vacuum pump oil leak x2

[ffchris]

I have now replaced the seals in my vacuum pump twice and its still leaking. I got the kit from Gould Gear. The coupler drive gear has been replaced on the vacuum pump side and I bought a rebuilt PS pump which also has a new coupler drive. In theory that means there's a new surface for the seal to mount against. It shouldn't be leaking. I'm pissed and its driving me crazy. Any suggestions?

Did you follow instructions from cloud gear and didn't force antything thogether, it should just slide all back and not be forced. http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=vJhR48a-9R8

I followed the instructions to the letter and watched the video 2-3 times. I even had the video going and would pause and follow each step. I'm very OCD about doing things right. I even called Pete Gould and talked with him about questions I had. By the way he's a really great, friendly guy who's extremely helpful. I haven't talked to him about the leaks yet.

I have to ask, are you sure its the pump? Oil dye and a uv light are your friend for oil leaks.

I Agree, make sure it's coming from new seals and not from reman crap I seen brand new stuff from parts store that is junk.

Thanks for the replays. I know the leak is at the vacuum pump/power steering shaft seal is.
