replace, if you heard the noise this puppy put of it would scare anyone of Stans cats away. ;)

it a tricky job.

Seriously now, before you remove the new pump, dump in some stop leak.
Atleast this will tell you a few things.If you have a rubber hose leak, it
wont work. If you have a bad water pump seal(which I think you are fretting
about) it wont work. If it is a bad connection,gasket, or something that
you did , it will probably work,and fix your problem.Lot less labor
intensive.
