Anyone Else Replaced WaterPump Yet? Just rolled 40k yesterday and waterpump started leaking. Not real bad, but coolant is starting to puddle around the battery area. I have the 10yr/100k warranty, plus the extended warranty, so I guess I'll be taking it in to the dealer for the 1st time.
Curious if anyone else has had this problem? If so, did they replace it with the same pump, or have they redesigned it or something??
Seems odd to me, because I even pressure-flushed my entire cooling system at 36k (because the overflow had a bunch of crap in it and the coolant looked like poop). I've had LS1 cars with over 130k miles still running on the stock waterpumps.

Mine had a very minor leak, the dealer found and replaced for me under warranty. So far, it doesn't seem to be common, just bad luck with seals it seems.
From the near last 2 years I've been lurking LS4 forums, I can't even count on my hand the number of water pump problems I've read about.
