Default water pump

Who here has had a water pump leak?

At what mileage and cost?

Car is in shop for headers, and a few other things...

told me a new pump is three hundred, hope that's with install...

must have just happened, as in garage no leakage on floor

any input welcomed... thank you

From what I have learned you can get a new pump at NAPA for $140. It supposedly leaks from the weephole. I know this stuff because mine was leaking, but not from the weephole and I got lucky fixed it just by tightening all the bolts up. Mine has 113k and is still on the stock pump...it is probably about time for mine to go bad.

I'd be a little wary of getting the shop to do yours unless they show you where it leaks as they might be yanking your chain just to get at your hard earned money.
