I almost want to say the Water Pump Drive Seal.. that's about the only thing in that is that diameter..but that seal looks different.

I don't remember the Oil Pump having a Seal like that..

Could that be a Bushing for the Drive Shafts..either the Oil Pump or Water Pump?

I dont think that has anything to do with the waterpump, atleast when I took mine off and converted it to electric I didnt see anything that even looked similar to that, I also removed the pump drive shaft and nothing like that. I looks like a bushing not a seal. Could it be for your oil drain plug?

the water pump drive has a totally diffrent seal, and i dont think it belongs to the oil pump, my oil pump is already installed and this seal has nowhere to go on the pump !!!

No..that one is thinner than that and a tan color.

Maybe that's just an extra piece of junk that got in the pack..
