There are o-rings. The way that the thing's put together sorta precludes catastrophic fluid loss as described in the letter posted here, but to address the question: If I were going to pay a mechanic to deal with this, I would buy a replacement pump unit that comes with a warranty so that I didn't have to worry about it. Reason being that I don't agree with paying a mechanic to only partially rebuild a pump for a labor charge that could very likely equal or exceed the cost of a replacement. I would pay the rehab factory that will give a warranty do that portion instead and get the whole thing spec'd out by someone that does nothing but. That's what I'd do, anyway. Also, a failed O-ring seal is highly unlikely to cause the sort of rapid fluid loss described, so that's what I was thinking based on the info given, but I wasn't there. Please use an o in my name. I'm particular about that. -Kenyon ____________________________________________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Everyone is raving about the all-new Yahoo!
