Water Pump/Coolant seal gone? NEW PICS.

So i've been having some slight overheating problems with the NA. Its not over heating.. just running way too hot after 15-20mins of driving.

Thats a shot of what it looks like.

This is directly under the alternator. As you can see the seal has kicked the bucket, is this just the water pump, or is that an actual coolant seal?

That's about how much coolant leaks out over night. None on the ground, but it slowly seaps down the side of the block.

Any thought much appreciated, I hope it just calls for a new waterpump and not a rebuild - thanks.

Can I buy that gasket on it's own? or does it require a whole new pump?

Go to auto zone or a parts store and look for Permatex Water Pump & Thermostat Housing RTV Silicone Gasket maker. That **** works GOOD.

Oh, and when you take off that housing be careful with the plastic oil lines right there when they get old they get brittle and break easy.
