Hi All -
My main pool pump motor (p6ea6g-207l) went out on Christmas Eve. I was just able to replace the motor yesterday and thought all was good. I went out today and noticed a small amount of water under the pump. I dried it off and came back later and another small amount of water. Think quarter sized amount of water. I think it is the shaft seal that is leaking. I replaced the seal when I replaced the pump. Any suggestions on something I can do before I try to replace the seal again? Any pro tips on what to check/do if I have to replace the seal again? Also is it OK to run this until I get another shaft seal I ordered which should be here by Wed. Any help is much appreciated. Also this is the third pump motor I replaced and only one to leak so far.
Thanks Philip
