Did the timing belt and water pump on my car this weekend, not impressed but I think the damn water pump is leaking. Dont want to have to go and do all that work again.

He just said he did the timing belt and water pump. I would assume that he didn't just do the belt and leave the pump alone.Generally they do recommend to replace both but honestly, I don't replace unless its broken.
This could be one of those examples why that's not a bad idea
Is it timing driven or externally driven?
Doing a UOA? Vanilla Mobil 1 5W20 synth did alright, but I'm curious to see if Pennzoil Ultra is as good as everyone says it is.another oil change, Pennzoil Platinum this time. Easy on the 1st gen CTS.
I'll do a UOA after the end of the current OCI, which will probably be in a few months.Doing a UOA? Vanilla Mobil 1 5W20 synth did alright, but I'm curious to see if Pennzoil Ultra is as good as everyone says it is.

I realize that..
He said he did the pump.. and I was saying I'd tend to leave it alone if it were me, although most people normally suggest doing water pump during timing jobs.
given the easy engine takes about 3-4 hours, whats a $50 brand new water pump really going to cost. Same thing as recommending replacing of certain seals and gaskets. You dont want to do the job over again for a $5 part.
what kind of car?
