Mine leaked at the front, even after replacing the seals 2x. The crank or main shaft of the pump developed a groove in the front where the seal was. AC specialists informed me that it is possible to grind it down, plate it and then machine it down to the correct size - but they warned that it is not worth the effort - most pumps leak again. I fitted a different pump, fabricated a new bracket and adapted the hoses to fit the new pump.
