I really don't know what I'm talking about...
Sorry, I really don't know what I'm talking about, but I'll try and explain.
If your looking at my furnace there is a little red motor to the side of it and when I bought the house 7 years ago, the little old lady who we bought the house from told us to make sure we drop a few drops of oil in there every 4-5 months. Lately, when the heat goes on and the little red motor starts running it sounds awful like something is rubbing and now there is a slow drip of a liquid thats like water.(not oil)
Any ideas if this sounds like it needs to be replaced or whats causing these sudden problems?

Circulator Pump
I think Pulpo is right. If it is leaking water the shaft seal is probably the culprit & not repaceable. A picture of the leaking device would certainly help. You can post pictures on photobucket.com or similar site & provide a link here.
