Hi gang,
I have a weird water leak that I have to assume is the water pump, although I can't really see exactly where it's coming from. It seems to be coming from under the water pump so that is why I'm going with that. I got a used but theoretically perfect unit from a fellow in here for a screaming good deal. It doesn't have a gasket, so my first question is: Do I need a gasket, and do you think it's a special order from Toyota?

Do I need to do anything special other than remove the fan shield and fan and belt? Do I need to remove the thermostat housing first too?

Thanks in advance for your thoughts guys!

Doug

So I call the dealer, and he want's $12.61 !! for one fricking water pump gasket? I think it would be cheaper to buy a sheet of gasket material and cut a new one out.!
I HATE dealers.!
So I called Auto zon, and they will have it for $2.99 tomorrow...

there ya go...
