What are the maintenance requirements for the new pump? I assume that the shaft turns on the packless bearings unstead of the pump body (eliminating the need for the grease cup). Are the seals, gaskets, etc., in the CSOB_09_70 repair kit appropriate for the new pump, too? How often should these be replaced? How often might the packless bearings need replacing? There doesn't seem to be a seep hole in the bottom of the pump. If a shaft seal leaks, as I suspect the one on the water side of my currrent put is, where will the leakage end up? I'm losing coolant into my bilge and suspect that it is time to repair/replace my FWP.
