Leaky Alternator

Post by MQSWBUTE »

ok sd33 has a oil pump bulit onto the back of the alternator leaking oil
the alt charges most of the time
pulled the alt apart cleaning up the o rings and slapped it all back together but still leaking
no i didnt use new o rings i should have
i know how to fix this problem (new o rings)
but what reason this happen yes i hit big puddles etc but ive got 2 leakin alts in the shed now and had 2 stuffed alts after 2 trips

is there a way round it maybe a electric oil pump
and if so can i get a bigger output alternator and will it bolt up etc

There is an oil seal built in to the back of the Alternator casing (well on a GQ Hitachi Alternator anyway) You need to seperate the halves of the alternator to replace this oil seal. It seals against the rotor shaft--you might need a speedy sleeve if rotor shaft is badly scored, or new seal will leak as well..
