I just had the water pump change because the mechanic said it was leaking. In looking at the engine and what I think is the water pump, it has not been changed. It has the 2" hose coming from the bottom of the radiator attached and is driven by the main accesory drive belt. If they put a new pump in is it possible that they didn't require changing the housing or did I get ripped off? It looks like they took the drive pully off from the marks on the attaching nuts. The pump cost $63 For total cost of $126.

Hello .. thanks for the donation .. much appreciated

It is possible if the water pump was just leaking they have just replaced the gasket !! I have a price of $88 OEM dealer part for the pump .. I would take this up with the repair shop .. .. hope this helps
