    Water Pump Issue

    So now the water pump is sealed right, but its leaking behind the timing cover a good bit? Any clue on cost to repair? Im going to ha e to send it to a shop since my work schedule is chaotic and dont have the time to or tools to do it.

    Just replaced the water pump on my 99 5.9 because it blew the gasket and was pouring coolant. I got the new one on today, new gasket and everything went smooth.
