2 weeks ago replaced my waterpump. Last night I noticed a lil puddle under the car looked at it today. Waterpump is leaking.

Oh man that SUX. I just did my Wife's 00 Stang- hell of time getting the tube out. The new pump had a bad bearing-I was sooooo pi$$ed off. The dealer gave me a hard time about wanted a replacement. Good thing I kept the original and had not turned in for the core. No more re-mans - only new for me.

At least it is one of the easiest things to replace, so count your blessings.

Well checked it this AM and no leaks. I cleaned the marks off the timing case and no new signs of a leak, no drips.

Mark VIII is a money pit. Within six months less than 2000 miles of driving I've replaced: front struts, headlights, front pads (new pads from previous owner were making strange scraping sound), alternator, tires. Chrome on rims is peeling off on a couple, there is a strange squeak in the body on the passenger side which I've spent hours trying to find to no avail. The oil pan leaks like a sieve. The car sits most of the time because I don't want to go bankrupt driving the thing. BUT!!! When I get that need for speed and 6-7000rpm screaming V8 my Mark wails like an Indy car and makes it all worth while. No plans to sell mine.
