At 105K miles I'm on water pump #3. Mine all had slow leaks dripping out near the front tow hook. Nothing like what happened above.
I'm on my 3rd at around 86k miles. P.O. had it replaced sometime. I bought it at 40k miles, and I just had it changed again in December, just shy of 80k miles, when I brought mine to the dealer on the tail end of my CPO warranty and asked them to look it over with a fine tooth comb.
Wonder if it's a 40k mile maintenance item?
