Thx only way to fix it properly is to pull the pulley off and replace the seal. Quick fix, I'd say smear a good dose of silicone <--- dodgy mechanic at it's best. My power steering pump leaks from the back, even after replacing the o ring twice, I decided to use gasket maker. Hasn't leaked for 2 years...

How do you smear sealer on a rotating shaft and expect to achieve anything?
Reseal kit are less then $20, strip it down and replace all the seals. There are walk throughs on youtube. |

Not much dripping but still enough to drain the pump dry over a few days |

Draining 800ml of fluid in a few days isn't much of a drip????????

There are walk throughs on youtube. Depends where it is leaking. Could be leaking on the casing end and not the rotating shaft...but more than likely, shaft.

I asked the auto sparky that fixed my alternator and he said some people rigged up a tin/plastic guard to stop it throwing oil straight onto the alternator, perhaps you could do that as a cheap alternative?
