Wierd coolant leak
Hi Everyone:
I have a strange coolant leak. It only occurs when the car's cold and/or the 1st 5 mins after startup. I traced the drip and it seems that its dripping down the OMP wires and around here (see pic). A buddy of mine thinks that it might be the water pump, but I was wondering if I should replace the whole thing (water pump) or just the gasket?

how many miles on engine/water pump? it's never a bad idea to change the water pump, if you're due for maintenance on replacing the pump just change it for peace of mind.

Sounds good. Would you guys recommend getting a used water pump? or a reman? (Obviously i'll get a new gasket for it).
