How long, pray tell, does a replaced water pump last? I replaced mine the Fall of '96, ~7,000 mi. ago, and am noticing some coolant loss. Not much, just enough to be noticed. I now siphon out the header bottle when I return from driving to prevent oozing, and the last time got out less then I put in. The "ooze" seems to be around the hoses on top of the pump. Snugging the clamps a bit didn't appear to help much. Appears to be a short life for a $200+ part. Ideas? Thanks.
