Coolant Leak
So after about 4 months of slow coolant loss i finally have a puddle in my driveway!!!!
my excitement is due to the fact its not being lost in the engine. Although the timing cover is leaking and my question is should i replace the water pump as well? or just change the gasket on the pump? also anyone know torque specs?

While You're In There:
If you are going to pull the water pump to fix the leak, you may as well replace the pump. It's cheap insurance against an impending failure.Torque the pump fasteners 15-22 lb/ft starting at the topmost fastener and working clockwise. (4.6L; 5.4L should be the same; don't know about the 4.2L.)
