How long of a job should this take at max I guess? I know this is a vague question, but there is a leak on the bolts for the Water Pump so now i'm leaking coolant. I'm afraid this could be the reason my car isn't starting... just soaking the damn Opti.

What really needs to be done for this job? I checked Shoebox's website, but didn't see anything on this.

 

Not a big deal to remove & repalce, it's only held on by 6 bolts/stud. Before appling thread sealer, the coolant level in the block must be reduced and enough time given for the threads to dry, it's also a good idea to chase the threads.

 

Chase the threads?

Just remove the airbox and dig in?

 

Water pump removal is covered in the cam removal guide on my site.
