Don't panic yet-- it might be as simple as a $3 seal kit from the dealer. Perhaps the shop would be willing to install it for you if you let them know what has happened-- be calm and pleasant about it and they might just fix you up with no static...

Of concern is whether the car overheated without you noticing (does the temp gauge seem to work right normally?). Giving the cooling system a general inspection wouldn't hurt.

My money is on the bad seal-- they are kinda easy to mess up, and the procedure for installing the pump is a little different than many others, with the process requiring upward levering to seat the seal into the head.

In any case this isn't likely to be a deal-breaker-- post back and let us know what fixes things!

Good luck!
