Another noob question, any reason why you replaced the water pump? Or do they tend to leak at this mileage?
The water pump is right there. It's one of those "while you're in there" things. And the change interval is about the same as the thermostat.

With 121k miles, mine wasn't leaking, but there was some play developing in the bearing. So I'm glad I did change it.
