A leak here also lets you know the seal is leaking.
Precisely what I was looking for. Thanks!
Your pump 2 question about the marks. If it was a rub the marks would be shiney. I think that is just some rust and looks similar to the marks I have seen. Do the marks wipe off?
I rubbed one of the marks with my finger, and it went away a little bit. Must be rust or some kind of oxidation.
No sealant is needed on the Z rubber washer. It is just a seal to keep the water and dirt out of the T-belt chamber.
That's what it looked like to me. I couldn't see any purpose for it in terms of fluid... Just seemed to keep dust and debris away from the pumps.

Thanks again.
