[C320-list] Perkins raw water pump

[Darrell]

Yesterday, I noticed that I have water dripping from my raw waterpump on my 
perkins M30. The water is actually comming from the holes in the pump 
housing where the shaft is exposed. I assume there must be some kind of seal 
around the shaft. Has any one else encountered this and replaced the seal?
