in order to fix your leak you need to replace your impeller,impeller shaft,mechanical seal ,front shaft bearing and clip and not a bad idea to replace your o-ring.i have done several of these and this is the only way to fix the problem.even if your sled isnt under warranty yamaha knows of this problem and they may goodwill the repair for you.if you have any ?'s you can contact me @shanev@frontiernet.net or call me @(715)754-2975.
hope this helps you.
