Yet another water pump question
Would it be an opportune time to replace the turbo drain seals and grommet and the lower tube while I have the front of the motor sort of opened up?
 Although it did just occur to me that I just have maybe 500 miles on a recent oil change. I was originally planning to do it when the oil needed to be changed since the pan needs to be dropped!  Thanks for input.

x2. If the turbo drain is not leaking say your thank you prayers and leave it alone. They are tricky as hell to get to seal up.

Just thought that while the car is going to be 'down' for a while I just as well tackle that problem as well, no?

How long are you planning on taking to replace the water pump? More than an hour?

Look in the DIY Articles, BODYART27 did a good pictorial on replacing the
turbo drain gasket/seal Charlie

I don't think you will save much time doing them at the same time.
