$75 for a water pump? ...I got mine for $35 at O'Riellys

There should be to lil port holes on top and below the crank coming outa the pump. Their purpose being to start leaking coolant when the pump starts going out. So check either of those and see if there's anything leakage and/or residue. I just replaced my pump about a month ago because I was leaking coolant but I couldn't figure out why. I checked the top port but didn't see anything (I didn't know this pump had two at the time) but since the pump was only $35 I decided to change it. Well after I got it off I noticed that it was leaking outa the port after all, except it was the bottom port that I hadn't previously noticed. Anyways...hope the new pump solves your problems as it did mine.
