i did check for leaks like 3 times and there were none. How much do you tink the watre pump will cost. I saw some at ebay fo 30some and do you think i should take it to a mechanic or is it a do it your self job. (I'm erik and i own a 96 v6 3.8 5speed std.) I check the power steering fluid and it needed like 1/3 to be full

Dont think they do..but black or chrome would look great. If you actually want one Harvey tell me first I talk to one of the main reps all the time and can probably give you a discount
