So, it's looking like my relatively new water pump has been leaking slightly pretty much since install. Trouble is, I'm due to leave tomorrow for a ~4000 mile roadtrip in the car. If it just keeps leaking at the same rate, it should be fine.. but if the bearings give up I'll need to replace it on the road somewhere.
I can bring timing belt tools and the DG water pump removal screws, and am very good with a wrench.. but I can't remember how much room there is with the bridge in place and the engine at normal height.
My question is whether you guys with better memory think I can get the pump R&R done without having to jack up the engine and remove the motor mount bridge? Not having to source stretch bolts on the road would help a LOT.
Thanks for any advice,
