if i replace the water pump gasket will my bike stop leaking oil because it looks like its coming from around that are. If so does anyone have directions on how to do this and an estimated time?

 

Not enough information to make an educated guess about your leak & possible solution.

You really need to determine IF its leaking & WHERE from. Then, consult your factory Honda Service Manual for possible solutions...& then follow-up here.

 

It's coming from behind the water pump

 

See Section 6-12 - factory Honda service manual. Removal of water-pump. Check thrust-washer & O-ring (o-ring at back of pump, not inside pump body itself). Could be source. That is unless you have a leak in the pump itself, which would require replacement of the o-ring inside the pump & a new sealing-washer upon re-installation.

This should be a fairly easy project if your handy w/ standard hand tools.

Good luck.
