How To Service The Water Pump On Your 1997-2001 Honda CR250
Your water pump is located at the front of your crankcase on the right side. Right next to the oil level plug is a tiny opening.
The other side of this opening sits between the impeller shaft oil and coolant seals. If you can see oil, coolant, or both coming out of that opening, your water pump is no longer sealed and needs to be repaired.
