need a confirmation
hey guys i have an 05 2.7 4door and ive been having coolant leak issues. and theres a peep hole just by or on the block on passenger side and im wondering if u guys can confirm that, that is a water pump drain? ive been leaking coolant from there and i just called the dealer n checked out much the water pump with a gasket was. he said "$140+" to me thats a bit overpriced. so i looked through ebay and they have them for $45+. so should i buy it from ebay or dealers? just wondering about the diffference in quality because of their price range.
thanks

yea i was talkin about the timing chain at work with my co worker. would that be difficult to remove? and i just search napa and autozone and they are made by duralast and Tue Flow Water Pumps by napa. duralast comes with a gasket, napa has NO GASKET REQUIRED "The 1-Piece Bearing Assy Has Factory Sealed Bearings That Are Computer Matched For Low Friction" . can u help me choose which one would works best? im planning to do maintenance myself coz if i dropped it off to midas, they wont believe me that i am leaking from my waterpump drain hole. top of that, they dont even know that thing exist and last time i went there they told me and asked if to plug up that drain hole.. i said "no, thats there for a reason".

the labor is 6.7 book hours,got to take off intake manifold, valve covers ,power steering pump, both cam and crankshaft sprockets etc just to give you an idea what involved . how much coolant is coming out of hole "NOTE: It is normal for the water pump to weep a small amount of coolant from the primary weep hole (black stain at weep passage). Do not replace the water pump if this condition exists. Replace the water pump if a heavy deposit or a steady flow of engine coolant is evident from the primary weep passage and . This indicates a shaft seal failure and pump must be replaced. Coolant may leak from the secondary weep passage and fill the valley of the engine . If this condition is found, clean the primary weep passage of debris. Be sure to perform a thorough analysis before replacing water pump."
