Well I don't agree with you there.

I had the same -25 deg C O-ring leak, which I fixed with a new pump a few weeks later.

Thing is with my car the previous owner actually took care and had things changes etc. Turned out (from the cast date of the pump - btw made in Japan so not OEM) the pump was from 1999 and must have been fitted month before I bought the car. I never talked to the owner so never got the history of the car.

The pump bearings were fine, fins real nice and clean etc, O-ring fine as well. It was just that the darn O-ring that was not pressed hard enough against the head! Pump must have had 35k miles on it. Kept if for em-spare.

So the pump could be fine, but poorly fitted! In normal temperature could work for many more years.

Refit will require a new gasget and O-ring etc. Personally I would change the pump anyhow while you're there. Is only a $60 item and gives you piece of mind for a few years.

Reg,
