A month ago I had my 20 year old (1998) water pump replaced due to a slow but persistent leak that wasn't getting any better. One week after that, I had to replace my 20 year old coolant holding tank in the rear trunk. It was leaking from "spider cracks" on the underside of the tank that weren't visible. As the cooling system would come up to temperature and pressurize the "spider cracks" would weep coolant and that liquid would accumulate under the rear trunks raised flooring. Eventually the coolant would find its way to the garage floor a few drops at a time........but that too would only get worse, so I had the tank replaced too. Since I'm not a DIY person I paid for the work.......all in for both I spent about $1,900. Not cheap but since the car hasn't needed repairs for the last 15 years I consider I got off easy.
