No. The ceramic parts of the shaft seal fit together without any lubrication or even finger print oil on them, I usually press the seal into the housing with a paper towel as to not get oil from my fingers on the white part of the shaft seal.
@@truelightpoolsllc4441 thanks for the quick reply. Most of the vids online are for the superflo and I would have run into trouble if I hadn't watched your video. Going to try to fix the leak this week, really appreciate it-

so the tech that installed the new motor left out the impeller screw. could that be where my leak is coming from?
Leaving out the impeller screw should not cause a leak, it would be the shaft seal or the pump housing seal most likely.
