I've been doing some experiments with my vacuum engines, and I'm trying out a splash lubrication system, using water instead of oil. An oil dipper on the end of the connecting rod and flings it against the cylinder wall as the piston goes up, and the piston is lubricated as it goes down. The only problem is, water leaks out and gets EVERYWHERE. I've been using cellophane wrap as a gasket for the baseplate it the bottom of the oil pan, and I've already accepted that I can't make shaft seals, but am I doing something wrong? Or is it just impossible to seal lego parts? 

Also, I would greatly appreciate it if anyone has a water pump mechanism I can use for this or my water cooling system.
