A couple weeks ago I was autocrossing my 2L at Blackhawk Farms and developed a
water leak.  I  have a leak from the weep hole under the pump.  I borrowed a
used one from  a friend until I can get one from the list.  I put it in
yesterday and the results were the same.  I have no idea if the used one was any
good when I started.

The main straight at Blackhawk is over 1/2 mile and I keep it in third up to 6K
rpm.  Is it possible that I blew a head gasket and that is causing a blowout of
the waterpump seal?  I do not have any extra pressure or bubbling in the rad.
The engine runs great, and I have no white smoke.  In other words, no symptoms
other than two leaking waterpumps.

Is there such a thing as a rebuild kit for the seal.  The bearings in both pumps
are fine?

Thanks in advance for the help.
