I dont know how to fit the water pump seal in my yamaha yz 125 i have took off the cover to reveal the impellor and cant find a way of gettin it off do i have to split the engine and is it a hard job?
GET A SMALL SCREW DIVER IN BETWEEN THE SHAFT AND SEAL PRY IT OUT WITH OUT DAMAGING THE SHAFT THEN USE A SOCKET FROM A TOOL KIT THAT FITS PERFECTLY AROUND THE EDGE OF THE NEW SEAL TO HAMMER IT BACK IN

Hi mate this will be the oil & water seals the leak from weep hole is basically a warning light to tell you it needs replacing asap, you need to remove impellor, carefull not to lose the spacer washer behind it...then remove the water seal clean the surface it came from and replace with new seal. Now to do this 100% I would always replace the impeller shaft as the shaft wearing is usually what caused the seal to fail and I would also replace the oil seal which is the other side of case that you just changed the water seal (oil seal sits behind the small bearing) I would also consider replacing this bearing but maybe not critical? all up the impellor shaft the 2 seals and bearing last time I bought cost about $160... no special tools required just quite a bit of time required as you should really remove the outer engine case to access the impellor to undo it and to get to the oil seal and bearing, how ever I know guys do just open the water pump cover then rattle gun off the impellor only replace the water seal then install the impellor and cover back on then ride away! this will work and will fix the leak but is definitely the incorrect way to repair this and will be temporary fix but thought you may like to know this alternative as is very handy way to do it if your on a race meeting and just need to get through the last race or two.
remove clutch cover,hold water pump shaft on flats on shaft and undo impellor by nut cast on impellor. remove old bearings and seals.check shaft for grooving where seal runs and replace if any.assemble in reverse order with new seals and bearings etc
If we are to assume it's coolant and not water being introduced through the crankcase vent hose, there are only two possible places for this transfer to occur - the water pump seals or the clutch case cover gasket. Those are the only two direct interfaces between the coolant and the transmission fluid that exist on that bike.
You replaced the seals - did you replace the bearing too?
