> this is off topic, but I've searched everywhere for information on this
..... I would like to build myself a water/drinks distriibuter, but I would
need a water pump. The one I was hoping to use is a  normal pump designed
for cars (brand new washer pump). I'm trying to find out if this kind of
pump contains any oils or substance that could bring a risk in the long term
if I'm drinking water/drinks that passes through it.

Why not bring it back on topic? Growing Hot Peppers via Hydroponics often
involves using water pumps and air pumps. Now in using this type of pump,
available from any Aquarium supply stores, you would avoid the risk of
falling foul of greases/oils used in lubricating bearing surfaces on
automobile equipment, etc.  Worth a thought, eh? Come to that you might even
decide to grow yer Hot peppers using this medium. Hottest regards. Walt.
