I am looking for parts information or a repair / OH manual for my Garwin wet vac pump. Seems simple enough inside and I would hate to go back to a dry pump.

Seems like an internal seal or something recently went bad and after flying a while the oil mist is over loading the separator and is now being pumped out the separator outlet.
I still have good vac and the vanes and housing are in great condition

any help or ideas would be appreciated

BB,
There are very few of us in this boat, I suppose, as many wet pumps were replaced with dry pumps years ago. I have one on my Pacer, and while it is still operating nominally, I have also been looking for a repair kit. As you have also discovered, they don't seem to be easily located.
Have you tried contacting a shop that O/H these units to see if they can help you? If I recall correctly, you stated that you feel that your pump has a worn seal. Might it be possible to get the seal out and source a new seal through a good supplier?
I will keep trying to find more info, and would appreciate it if you could keep us (me) posted on what you end up doing.
Thanks
