water pump leak...question
found out that my water pump is leaking at the inlet (elbow) seal. Im not sure if there is a problem with the pump or not,but can that elbow be tighted? replace seal? or do I more than likely need a new set up? If so how much $ (part only)? IS it worth getting an upgraded pump if there are plans to go FI in the future? Thanks in advance....

A new genuine Hi- per GM pump is around $200.00 thru some internet GM discount outlets. Chinese knock offs are half that price and not worth the trouble.
