its hard to splain, once you take the bowl off and look you will see the seal. tom at jet boat performance or jim at cyclone speed and marine can and will walk you through it.

go to 12je parts listing, you'll see the whole exploded view there.

 #12  is the bowl gasket

#10 is the seal that's leaking

#8  is the bushings inside the seal 

I agree with the above post.  Tom was a big help getting me started too. 
Thank you again Tom   :thumbup:
