Hi,

The same thing happened to my '86 Westfalia that I purchased a month ago.

While on the trip it worked fine for a while and than it stopped. I took the sink
water pump out and noticed water coming out near the electrical wires.

I figure the seals are gone and the water is in the motor part of the housing.

Unless someone knows of a fix I will buy a new one. Any suggestions where to buy
one?

This is also a good time to disconnect the tubes and clean them out. They are quite
filthy.

The maiden trip to Prince Edward Island was wonderful.

Bye,
Hans
