Leaking Jetwash

[Monkeybusiness]

Right then - I know there are some pressure washer experts on here.
Is this Karcher knackered or is it an easy fix? It’s a big 3 phase steam cleaner and is still delivering good pressure and flow, but even I can tell this shouldn’t be leaking from here!

Backup seals have gone.

ID the pump and order a seal set, do them all whilst you’re in there. Easy fix.

Would the current issue also lead to water in the oil, or is that something else wrong?….

Definitely not frozen at any point?
I had one I thought was seals ...until I found a hairline crack. Had been left full after the 09 dep freeze

Don’t think so, it’s always drained down and lives in an insulated building. Hope not anyway…

That would most likely be the crankcase seal. Just get a full set.

You’re just going to break it!
Ring Julian at Britclean - he’ll come pick it up and fix it for you.. I’m sure he charged me £78 last time inc pickup/delivery/fixing it and parts!!

I did out Kew that was leaking similarly and putting water into the oil.

I got a kit from perry pressure washers and changed all the seals in there the ones that came out were pretty hard and looking worse for wear, it all works fine now and there wasn't anything overly challenging in there getting getting to it was the hardest part
