WOW! Some Friend you have!!!
You can do it yourself for about $100.
Pump comes with a gasket and you need a bottle of coolant.
I took off the lid to make things easier, Took off the belt and pulley to access the pump.
Drained old coolant from the radiator's petcock.
Scrub off the paper gasket off the motor, apply new gasket with some black rtv,
install new pump and rest is reverse process.
Fill radiator with fresh coolant (hope you plugged the petcock back on bottom of radiator before this step. )
Make sure there are no bubbles.
Let the car sit for 4 to 5 hours for proper sealing.
