SOURCE: dishwasher leak

To clear the drain in a few easy steps; find where the outlet hose connects into your house drain system, disconnect it and then see if the machine will drain into a bucket/tray. Try it both by gravity (if you can get the hose below the water level)and with the machine on if not. This will tell you if the blockage is in the house drain not the machine. If the house drain is clear, see if you can disconnect the drain hose from the machine end and check it isn't blocked.if this is not removable, try poking a bit of wire or similar down it, being careful not to go past where it enters the machine (measure your bit of wire against the outside of the hose first). As Joe says, if you are sure the accessible filters and everything you can get to easily are clear, a garden hose in the hole will possibly clear the blockage if you can get a bit of pressure - often the easiest way is to hold a rag tightly around the end of the hose and the hole you are trying to get water through. (Note you will get wet - be very careful of electical sockets etc). If this doesn't seem to clear the blockage then the pump is either faulty, or not recieving instructions from the control board to work (more likely, although you would expect an error message). Hope this helps, if you wish to change Joe's rating you can just by rating the advice again. Good luck :)

SOURCE: GE Dishwasher Leaks

You can easily screw up the drain diverter arm trying to replace that seal. Repair is difficult. Pump assembly is rather expensive. (especially considering this was not a top of the line model) You would be much better off replacing the dishwasher. The new GE models are much quieter and have eliminated the center tower in almost all models.

SOURCE: GE 24in GSD980X Dishwasher water leak in pump &motor area

I had the same problem. There is no way of replacing seal/joint between pump and motor. It can't be taken apart w/o destroying parts, it only comes as an assembly. Costs around 130$ for pump/motor assy, so it might not be worth it.

Yz 250 water pump leak

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.

hope this help cheers... Moto X Parts online.com

Replaced water pump seals twice on 06yz450 and they keep leaking

I would reccomend replacing both water pump shaft bearings and also the shaft if there is any sign of grooving on the shaft. Without looking at a diagram i am assuming that the water side of this bikes pump is a mechanical(ceramic) seal design . Sucessful replacement of these mechanical seals can be tricky. A few tips are: be certain that all case surface areas are clean with all old seal/sealing debris removed such as with sccotch brite. So that the seal will seat and seal properly in the case. NEVER allow your dirty/oily fingertips to touch either of the ceramic pieces of the seal in the contact area. Lubricate these ceramic pieces with a standard green type of coolant only upon assembly. Always use a regular green type of coolant in the system untill you are confident of the install and then change to another type if you are going to. Be aware that it is not uncommon for the mechanical(ceramic) type of seal to weep slightly during initial break in as the two halves seat to each other. This weepage should dissappear in a short period of running time.

Pump will not prime

If pumps don't prime there is a reason:
Enough water in the pool or spa?
Is the o-ring on the lid at the pump pot?
Is the lid tight enough?
Does the pump need to "Pull" water to the pump from the body of water for a great distance or height? If so, then you need to be diligent in getting the water to the pump.
Or the Pump Shaft Seal is worn.

I have a yamaha yz426f that leaks water all the time from a small hole in the right hand side of the head whats the fix? it starts has awsome power but obviously needs looking at

I have a 2001 YZ426F and I had the same problem. The reason why is leaking because the water pump seals needs replacement and so the water pump shaft. You can still ride it, but you run the risk of overheating your bike. I recommend replacement of the water pump seals and shaft and you are good to go!

I have 2002 YZ 125 and coolent is leaking- so I replaced the gasket on what it looked like a water pump contected to the hose easy 5 to 6 screws selaent and gasket good to go. However that fixed the leak...

your water pump shaft runs threw bearing and seal,and your seal is bad,not to big of job to replace,you can order part off bike-bandit.com( they also have a breakdown of parts picture you can look at to help in seeing what needs to be removed to fix) and it will be ok to ride as long as you do not let the colant run out( no colant =overheat=locked up engine.) so check colant every 5-min of riding untill you fix.....

I have a ktm 250 exc 2001. It had a full engine rebuild in december and i have been using it day to day to go to work with the odd green land fun. last week it started putting oil out from some where up...

The gray color(if it's milky) may be water and may mean that your water pump seals are leaking. Check your radiator level, it should tell you. Be sure to replace both and check the waterpump shaft for corrosion in the seal area. If there is, replace the shaft, too, or the problem will occur again.

If you don't feel that you have water in the oil, it may be that your right crank seal is blown. This will pressurise the clutch and tranny area and likely blow oil some out of any place it can on the right side. If this is the case, the engine will have to be pulled and completely disassembled to replace your crank seals and possibly the main crank bearings.
