Thanks that's just what I needed to hear. I lubed the seal when I installed it the first time but the failed area was on the outer edge of the rubber away from the shaft. So I think the seal hung up on the shaft and tore the outer edge when the rubber is the thinnest. I think.... Trying again! But it's great to hear there are no other paths.

correct I replaced everything shaft impeller seal bolt...it turns ou the seal has a split in it. apparently, the spit was able to keep air pressure in the system. I charged the system with air then after a few hours checked it by removing the radiator cap and i would hear the compressed air escaping. ordering a new seal...but again my question is. are there other paths for the coolant/oil to mix? I can't think of any but I haven't ever had this bike apart to see for myself

what paths are there for the oil and water to mix? obviously, the water pump seal but are there other seals? I replaced the water seal assembly with all new, it still leaks water into the trans oil, and there is oil in my coolant..like they both can flow both ways I removed the water pump from the case and pressurized the coolant system to about 15 psi. it held air for several hours. any ideas?
