Default 94 water pump

I suppose it was to be expected as I just bought it, but another thing is going wrong with my 94. My low coolant light came on. I've been leaving small puddles of antifreeze on the ground for a few days, and already figured out that it was around the water pump area. My question is this:
Can I buy the 139.00 water pump from Auto Zone, or do I have to get the 199.00 from Corvette Central?

I got the Auto Zone. I think it has a lifetime warranty too! Since they leak on the Opti, I'd do that too, since your just about there with the water pump anyway.

Yes, it works fine. And if I would have a problem, its easy enough to get it replaced at the local outlet. I've had it on a couple years now.

I too replaced my leaking OEM water pump with 85K on it with a Auto Zone Lifetime water pump but i only paid $110.00 for mine, next time iam going to buy a rebuilt "or a re manufactured water pump" off eBay from the Water Pump man because he uses better seals and bearings in his LT1 water pumps and only charges $80.00+shipping.

I got my AC Delco from my supply house for $101 but that is at wholesale pricing.
