Water Pump

[Easy Ed]

Been having coolant showing up on the garage floor so after crawling around the truck I see that the gasket for the water pump on the passenger side looked to be leaking. After searching around the interweb it seems to be "standard procedure" to go ahead and replace the water pump and gaskets versus just the gasket. After getting it apart I see where the problem was at, the o-ring had moved from its sealing surface leaving just the gasket material to try and seal it off. After all said and done I am thinking I could have just replaced the gasket, the pump does not have anything showing in the "weep hole" and there is no play in the pump shaft, but figured WTF go ahead with pump and gaskets while I was at it and had bought them already.
