I think shaft is 10 mm ,cant get wear sleeve found double lipped seals on ebay £3.50 for two anyone confirm size as I haven't pulled it apart yet think from memory it is 10x20x5
It's more likely you nicked the seal or popped off the seal spring when fitting the cover back on, the shaft would have to be in a hell of a state for the seal to leak oil as it's way above the oil level.

Also make sure you replaced the impellor bolt rubber backed washer as that's the main cause of weep hole coolant leaks btw and not the mechanical seal :thumbup

Thanks Sam, have not pulled it apart yet but you are probably right, was careful putting cover back on used 4 cut down IKEA bed screws as guide studs(gasket kept slipping) taped the end of the shaft, but as it was only the coolant seal leaking in the first place not the oil seal ,looks like I cocked it up . found pack of two 10x20x5mm double lip oil seals on ebay £3.90 hope they are the right size :cheers
Water Pump Shaft Oil Seal 17461-02F00 £5.44 last time I checked from Robinsons :thumbup

The later revised seal has a metal lip on it too
