As I was dealing with a dead battery the last couple days, I noticed that the water pump is leaking some coolant. Seems like it's coming from the top of the pump where it meets the block. Looks to me like the O-ring is shot, and it leaks when the car has been sitting a while. I'm guessing things expand when the car's been running. Do I need a whole new pump or can I just replace the o-ring? Think I saw it for sale at about $1.25 from FCP.
