I have a 93 LT1 with 19,000 mile on it and I think the water pump is leaking ever so slightly. I have added the dye and tried the UV light with no luck from what I understand this is a commont problem with the rear seal going bad. Does this WP have an user servicable parts. Where can I get on and who has the best prices. I tried to find a link for the forum member who works in a part place but was unable any help would be appreciated. Im also goin to replace the the opti when I do this with one the the units from the corvette clinic. It has all the modification to function like the 95-96 units.

I just picked up a aftermarket one for $91.00 from A&A Auto.(Jobber price). Crall under the car and twist yourself so you can see the bottom of the pump. There is a tiny hole called the weap hole. This is where they usually leak. I noticed a very slight spray going on the underside of the hood above the A/C compressor. That's what made me search for the leak. Mine lasted 29,000
