Leak slowed down but not gone

Have the pump back on and ran the scout around a 5 mile loop a few times this weekend to dial it in. Have it pretty close but will probably need a few more rides in the 20 or so mile range to get it closer.

Unfortunately I did not completely stop the leak. Slowed it way down but it is still there. I may take it back off and attempt the seal again. I was very easy with the sealant that I used. I think I just need to be a bit more liberal and I can get it there.

Also noticed that I am getting some oil running down from the generator pulley tower. I have seen other 101 scout owners complain about that area leaking so I know it’s a finicky place to seal up. After loosening all the bolts and screws and re tightening in the logical order it slowed down some but is still weeping some oil.

It’s good enough for now but I will have to dive into this a bit at some point. I would like to have it tightened up as much as possible before taking her to Laconia this June.
