Replace water pump or gaskets?
After smelling coolant for a few months and unable to spot where it was coming from I saw it at a car show when I popped the hood last week. I'd been topping off the coolant until I found it.
When standing in front of the engine it appears to be leaking from the right port in between the block and pump. Should I replace the whole thing or just try the gaskets? The car does not run hot. 175 in the 95 degree FL heat with airflow and a 160 degree stat with a hole drilled in it |

If I'm going to trouble to take it off, I'm putting on a new one. They're not that expensive. And I might even consider new hoses as well just for good measure.

Good point! I was thinking that myself just wanted to make sure.

Chances are its leaking from the weep hole which means the pump seal is starting to fail.
