Damn ! how did that happen !!? new w pump I assume. I like to keep good working parts in service.......... but wbxr water pumps - considering how hard they are to replace with the engine in the van ...........I put new ones on engines getting head jobs etc. I also use black Toyota silicone on the water pump 0-ring, and thick red permatex high-tack gasket sealer on both sides of the paper gaskets. And don't usually have any problems. hope you get it easily !
