250B scoot.

Ever had an oil leak/drip that just flat pissed you off???

Me too. Mine was leaking from the seal around where the water pump attaches to the motor. The pump is held on by two bolts and just slides into a recessed area. Engine oil is used to lubricate the pump. The oil is held in the motor by a small O ring that went bad on mine, causing the drip/leak.

Solution, new O ring from a kit of Nitrile O rings I had around. Grease the recessed part of the pump and put the O ring on. Fit everything back together and test.

This makes it sound simple but its not too hard. My scooter stays much cleaner now and so does the garage floor.

Hope this helps someone.

Good Job Man, yes oil leaks are a pain, but a little TLC and investigation most can be dealt with.

Good tip, Jim. Here's the kit I keep around the workshop.
