[chezandy0]

What year and type of quad?

yup that where the water pump is. that means your mechanical seal is gone.

i got the seal out but theres another seal behind it do i need to take it out to if so how do i get that one out or do i have to take off the stater is there a special tool to pull the flywheel or is there another option

 

[OnlyPolaris]

no you don't have to take the other seal out. that is the oil seal. keeps engine oil out of your antifreeze and vise versa.

I think i have the same porblem on my 2002 700 will it wreak anything riding it like that? had to ride it out of the trails like that last weekend will fix it but hope nothing happened seem to drive fine.

you will eventually run out of antifreeze. plus it is going to let alot of contaminents into your system which could wreck it pretty bad. it is not very expensive to fix it, so i would spend the money and do it.
