Now I'm glad I stayed home for Thanksgiving

Let me know if you have any problems/questions. I just went through this a couple months ago, including the nearly frozen bolts that thread into the block.

My car just did the same thing two months ago. I had a puddle on the garage floor and I couldn't find the source of the leak. The radiator hose clamp from the pump was loose, so I tightened it and filed her back up. Next time I drove it and parked, I had another puddle. Traced it from the weep hole on the bottom of the pump.

I replaced it with a Duralast pump from Autozone. All new, made in the USA for around $40. My car now runs cooler than it ever did. My install was very easy, but I do not have A/C and have had already fought the seized bolts two years ago.
