The crack in the tube should be fine, just make sure it doesn't have a sharp edge sticking out that could cut the seal in the water pump housing. As for the other seal, it will come in a complete water pump kit if you get an OEM kit.

i bought the OEM kit but it did not have that seal. I assume the plastic tube seats against that seal?

studying the pictures in the instructions and see that the grommet is supposed to be attached to the plastic tube. only thing that i am not sure about is that brown o ring when i took the pump off that grommet was not attached to the plastic tube and the o ring was were i put it in the plastic tube in the pic. but the instructions do not show one there. it is a 25" shaft if that makes a diff.
