I’ll try to keep this as short as possible. Replaced the water pump when I first got the car. Gates wp from extremepsi. Was fine until I rebuilt the bottom end after hg blew. Used the same wp since it didn’t have many miles on it and yes new gasket. Weep hole started leaking so I got another gates wp but from Amazon this time. It leaked again so got a replacement and it’s leaking again. I’m not having any overheating issues and it’s bleed properly. Thinking about shelling out the money for oem but I’m afraid it’s going to happen again. Each time I replaced the wp, it was fine for a little while. Seems like it starts leaking after the first drive. Idk what’s going on. Belts are not over tightened.
