Default FWT 449 GFS leak

I am getting a leak from my water pump (think that is what it is)... it appears to be coming a drop at a time when the machine is draining the water after a wash/ rinse cycle.) It is coming from the spot where the shaft runs into the impeller housing just in front of the black drain hoses and "catch " reservoir.
Is there a seal in there that can be replaced or am I looking at a larger repair/part replacement?

I can post a picture when I get home from work today....

cheers
peter

Hi Peter,

You would need the new water pump assembly.

But they make 2 different ones for your model, you are missing one number after the "S" at the end of your model#. Once you post that I can tell you which one yours takes.
