Already done that, plus fitted an o ring for good measure & lockwired pipe on ! - also routed into airbox.

Have pulled the seal again and reckon thats the culprit as there are oil globules on the water side.

Checked for shaft wear, cleaned mating faces with non organic solvent & reinstalled..(seal virtually new)

Local GG mechanic (at UK importer) reckons he has solved leaking seal problem in the past by smearing mating faces with silcone grease.

Sounds contrary to everything else I've heard so aint tried it yet .....
