OK, took the pump apart again this morning and after looking over the new seals very closely, I found that the carbon seal on the spring was split. Took it back to Leslies and got a new one. No more leaking :) I'm glad to have a Leslie's store so close by with a great tech.

I have a 1hp Hayward super pump and the rear seal is leaking. I went to my local Leslies store, where I bought the pump 5 years ago, and got a new rear seal and a gasket kit. Replacing the seal was pretty simple, but it still leaks. I sanded any rust off the shaft before I installed the new seal...
