My shop is replacing mine. I had a bunch of work done then when I drove it home the water pump apparently died. my temp was running a little hotter than normal and when I parked my car it vented all of the fluid. Thing is that coolant also came out of the filler end through the cap. I'm wondering if I should change out the reservoir too. I assume that changing out the serpentine belt and pulley must have messed with the water pump causing it to fail. Btw mine was at 50k miles.
