    Still quite new to this but quick story is i have a gilera vx 125 with a vxr 180 lump in it, was lacking power, found out the rollers were literally in half, now i replaced them and manifold as there was a tear in that and now water (muddy water) pisses out the inspection hole on the water pump eventhough the water pump looks sweet just rusty? Any ideas on this one guys?
    My thoughts were head gasket but unusal the water coming from there, also does pull well still and idles sweet

    Many many thanks for any help guys

    Sorry to sound dumb but do you mean the o ring on the black bit where the two pipes go or the grey casing behind? Also what other damage could this have caused? Thank you alot

    Look up a water pump repair kit you'll see what's what.. Is your pump belt driven or drives of the cam Shaft.. What did you do with the vx 125 lump?

    The part where the water pipes go to is just a casing really.. The pump is behind that you should find a little wheel looks like a fan, that just unscrews the seal is behind that..

    Shame I'm looking for a new lump, just brought a Vespa gts lump but bottoms out on frame and can't be asked to messing around with the engine mount lol.. And yes I'd say pull the hole look of right back to the fly wheel and get the repair kit, want to be carefull if you fly wheel/stator gets wet could lead to all sorts of damage.. Expensive unnecessary damage..

    Losing pressure maybe.. And if your not getting the right amount of water could lead to engine seizure.. Maybe already have started too due to heat, twisted barrel swolen piston..
