That is great, that you posted a picture of the motor....
but unfortunately the motor does not have a seal. It is the wet end that is connected to the motor which makes a pump, and that has the mechanical shaft seal.
if you remove the cover of the wet end, and expose the impeller, then remove the impeller, and expose the shaft seal, we would be able to assist you better.
A picture of the wet end and post it, will greatly assist as well.
unfortunately the information that you provided, although very much appreciated, really does not assist.
Because the manufacturer of the tub, can use a variety of different vendors for the pump. But,...
if your tub came with a serial number?
You can contact the manufacturer and they may have records as to what pump was used on your specific unit. And then from there you would be able to know what pump or more specifically...which Wet End, was used and then you would be able to find out which mechanical shaft seal went into that pump or Wet End!
if I was to venture a guess: it is either a
U.S. Seal PS 200 or PS 201
SOURCE: need to disassemble pentair dynamo pump to replace
Remove the cover from the back of the motor and lock the shaft from turning. Then spin off the impeller.
SOURCE: hayward pump has a steady water leak between pump and motor
Replace the machanical seal in the pump. It seals the shaft opening through the pump and is about a $5 - $10 part.
SOURCE: Proline Pump 8D-10-1n11CB. This is for a pool and is leaking from the shaft to the motor
The pump seal is bad on the unit. This requires disassemble of the pump unit. Remove power to the unit, dissasemble pump housing, remove the impeller from the shaft of the motor by removing the allen screw with an allen wrench. Seperate pump housing from motor remove the old seal replace seal. Lube motor shaft with a little clean oil or wd40 to facilitate easy install thru new seal,reassemble in reverse.

Most likely leaking from either the shaft seal, or the valute seal (big seal plate o-ring). When you replaced the motor you should have also replaced the shaft seal. If not go back and do that whether it's leaking or not. If you get your head down and look at the bottom of the pump while it's running you should be able to see the water coming from the joint between the seal plate, and the seal plate housing, or just behind that from the bottom of the motor probably from the vent holes in the motor housing. If it's coming from the motor then the shaft seal is leaking, and the water is traveling along the shaft and out the bottom of the motor. This will eventually get into the motor and seize up the bearings. If it's coming from the valute seal, then you need to either replace or re-seat the seal. As a general rule you should always replace the shaft seal, and diffuser and seal plate o-rings when you replace the motor or split the seal. I'm not as familiar with the 2 speed hayward super 2, but the standard super 2's have a small ribbon seal, often called a rubber band. They are infamous for going bad especially after pulling the pump apart.

Hi,
Yes this is replaceable, click this LINK.
Hope I helped you.
Have a nice day!
Thanks for using Fixya.
Removing the impeller requires you lock the shaft as you turn the impeller off counter-clockwise. To lock the impeller you will have to remove the motor end cover or a cap covering the shaft end depending on which version your particular motor has. Look at the end opposite the pump and imagine a shaft from one end to the other right in the center.
Yes, the seal has been leaking and it needs to be replaced; probably the motor bearings too.
Once you remove the cover you will see a slot for a screwdriver, a flat for a wrench, a hex hole for a hex key or some combination of these. Lock the shaft and spin off the impeller. Some are so tight you will end up breaking them in the process. Simply replace it and the seal. Be sure the motor shaft is in good enough condition to allow the new seal to work properly. If too much shaft material has rotted away the new seal will leak soon after it is installed; you would need a new motor at that point.
