wow, that washer is even called a gasket. damn good info I appreciate it. Now how tight are the case bolts supposed to be to properly seal the gasket against the engine case? should I use threebond around the opening for the water pump in the side cover?

I replaced the oil seal in their then changed mechanical seal. Didnt know about washers at the time. After it was all together still weep. So I bought another mechanical seal  put it in.still leaked so I bought new washers. Never had a problem since. Il take a pic of washers shortly so you can compare. But my washer were bad and I didnt have water in oil just leaking out of weep hole.

no, I did not, just replaced the one under the impeller. Is that my problem? also the dealer told me the brass washer on top of the impeller has a rubber coating on it. So if its gone the water will leak through there too. Is this true? bc mine has noting. just a plain brass washer.

The mechanical seal is the one with the spring.

To be quite honest, Ive heard there are supposed to be 2 seals and Im confused whats what. are you refering to the seal IN the impeller? or the black barrel one with a spring around it?

When you done mechanical seal did you replace oilseal on the water pump shaft.

I had this problem on my 500 and it was because of the base gasket.

Hello, I have a 89 quadracer 250, for some reason I am getting a milkshake in my engine. I replaced the clutch cover gasket, all my bolts are there and none are stripped. Have a leak from the bottom of the clutch cover that progresses when running. I replaced the seal the impeller sits on still leaking. Even changed head gasket and still leaking and mixing the fluids. I put a new clutch assembly in and this problem didnt arise until after I did that, Im thinking ive screwed something up and I cant find anything in the manual. Also I dont have a torque spec on the clutch cover bolts, how tight should these be tightened to? Thanks for any opinions or suggestions
