Phalcon51 thanks for all the info and the link to the insrtructions on how to remove the water pump.. I just removed the water pump at around 2 hours. I could not remove the belt by using the tentioner 13mm bolt so I had to pry it off (I know not the best thing). Everything else came out like butter. I removed the 13mm bolt and noticed that it came off the threaded shaft, I guess I need to purchase a new one. When I removed the water pump I noticed that the o-ring where the pump meets the block was as flat as a pancake in one spot near the bottom of the pump. I guess that is where it was leaking.

I think that the water pump is still in good shap and I only need the o-ring, but I am going to change the water pump anyhow (I do not want to go through this again).

Now I hope that putting it all back together will be just as quick and with no problems. I am going to buy the new pump on Monday and I am also going to purchase a new upper and lower rad hose and the 2" bypass hose.

The only problem I have now is getting the fan clutch to stay still so I can remove it to put the belt on (I still have the old belt wedged in there and need to remove it).

I will keep you guys posted.

Thanks Fab
