I have noticed that when you drain the stuff off the part, you are going to have to flush it pretty good because it is kind of slippery. Water has done a pretty decent job but I've sometimes helped it along by just rubbing my hands over the part to really get the slippery residue off

I understand this. I was just going to empty it anyway in case of any leakdown through the rings.

Was your pump all seized up? Did you end up replacing it or just rebuilt it?
Many thanks all!
