Time for a new Waterpump Already! Ok guys.. after a short period of owning the car i noticed the weep-hole-leak.
it's time for a new pump.
are there any pointers that anyone wants to share?
is it possible to do this from the bottom and leave the throttlebody on.. or am i making my life difficult by doing so?
also, do you guys use RTV on the gaskets?

The only reason I would think of doing it from the bottom is if you had a lift, and even then it's easier to do it from the top. Taking off the throttle body is easy, but I'm not sure if that's even necessary.
It really is an easy swap if you have any mechanical skills at all.

Yep, easy easy job. As stated above, make sure you have the rectangle seals that go behind the pump. I used an aftermarket pump and it did not come with them. Had to make a run to the dealer to pick them up. Not expensive, but trying to save you a headache. With all parts on hand, start to finish in 30 minutes is very doable.
