Homelite Pressure washer leaking water
Is your Homelite pressure washer leaking water? The pump assembly is the most likely source, especially on a machine that is several years old or used often. Worn pump seals can allow water to escape from the pump, and rebuilding the pump may solve the problem on a newer washer that sees limited use. If the pump is badly worn, replacing the complete pump assembly or pump is usually the more practical repair. A pressure washer leaking water from inside or a pressure washer pump leaking may also have a thermal release valve opening during normal operation. This valve releases overheated water when the washer is left running without spraying, so shut the machine off when it is not in use and let it cool. Inspect the pump, pump seals, pump o-rings, and thermal relief valve for damage or wear, and check where the leak begins before ordering parts. Enter your Homelite pressure washer model number to find the exact replacement pump assembly, pump, seals, or thermal release valve for your specific machine.
01 - Homelite Pump Assembly
You may need to rebuild or replace the pump assembly. If the pump is more than a few years old, and you use the pressure washer fairly often, replace the pump assembly. If the pump is relatively new, and you don’t use the pressure washer often, either rebuild the pump assembly or replace the pump seals.

03 - Homelite Thermal Release Valve
The leak could be due to the normal operation of the thermal release valve. The thermal release valve allows hot water to exit the pressure washer if the water temperature becomes excessively high. If the pressure washer is left running while it is not spraying water, the water in the pump will begin to heat up. When the water temperature rises above the acceptable limit, the thermal release valve opens to allow the hot water to exit the pressure washer.
