Just amke sure when you get the new water pump that you take off the metal plate that is on it and seal the the gasket behind it with sealer. I didn't think about this the first time I replaced my waterpump and what do you know..it started leaking again. Never could figure out why the pump has two gaskets, but make sure you sela them both so you wont have to go fussing with it again.
