Leak question, Guess I'll be the first!

It is under warranty. I'm sure when it is not in 2 1/2 years I will ask them for some seals and try it myself. Depending how much they charge.

Typically these leaks come from over filling the blower. After you put the first bottle in these blowers when they are brand new, the next time you change it, you should only put about 80% of the bottle in. If it is the rear seal leaking, unfortunately it has to go back to the factory. Take the blower off, remove the volute form the back and take a pic of the impeller area and underneath... send it to me. Ill tell you what I think.

The first time I put a full bottle in.
The second time I put 80% of the bottle in. Same thing.

They told me the new seals were put in the first time. This time they found a new way that has been working . They install the seal, put the silicone on the seal, let it dry for 8 hours and THEN put the unit back together . I guess the new seals didn't work too good.....

Note.. The first seal went at 220 miles, got it back and the next one lasted 460.....I only got to put the first bottle in.
