If you're talking about the WWPump seal, yes, it will start leaking... However, it will do that even without pure meth... Mine started leaking with a 50/50 meth water combo.
However, Snow recommends a silicone sealant named Automotive goop.
I used it on the WWPump seal and on the seal I already had at the bottom where I was running the line... Been fine for three years.
Snow recommends it because according the rep I spoke to it was the only sealant that was 100% methanol resistant...
It can be done.

Depends what seals...

Yes, I was referring to the pump seals. Obviously if you replace the seals and/or pump it won't be a problem. However, this completely nullifies the convenience of just using the WW fluid tank. On a side note, I never tried 50/50, but rather went straight from WW fluid to pure meth.
I use my WW tank. I use it without the factory WW Pump. It was removed, because meth leaked through there. I put Automotive Goop with a rubber plug where it was, and I have a line with the Goop running from the bottom of the WW tank to the meth pump... It's very convenient. I'm literally, "just using the WW fluid tank," like you said. What's inconvenient?
50% or 100% meth... Goop will hold either just fine.

Why does it nullify the convenience to remove the pump? I mean, you just have to deal with not being to spray wiper fluid on the windshield with the pump, which if you're using the WW Tank for meth, you can't do anyway, right?

I forgot about the different vehicle platforms. I was able to tap my WW fluid tank without removal. Since I only spray meth when the boost controller is on high, when not racing I was able to use the WW fluid tank for it's intended purpose. This made it ridiculously convenient for me until the seals gave out.
