Since the alternator and power steering pump is giving me issues, I noticed that the weep hole under the water pump seal is leaking a bit of coolant. So am I Lucky since I have the belt off and doing the alternator and power steering pump to do the water pump? anyways I ordered a Gates waterpump and it comes complete with the gasket and new bolts.
