Subject: [PSUBS-MAILIST] formula for leak volume?

I'm trying to calculate something but haven't found the right formula. Let's say the seal on my 1" prop shaft disintegrates. Just inboard of the seal, the shaft goes through an opening that is 1.002". This opening is not of any significant length The ambient pressure is 500 psi. How many gallons or liters per minute would come in?
 
I'd really appreciate any pointers!
 
 
thanks,

Alec
