[QUOTE="Mike's 2003 YZ250, post: 827912, member: 51926"] I agree with YZ165. Me and my older brother own a repair shop, actually its family owned. The water pump was probably the major leak, so they fixed it. When they were done they probably called you and said its done, come get it, and never rechecked their work or rechecked for anything else that maybe they didnt see. I have a Chevy pick up truck myself, and we did the waterpump once and the intake has been done once as well. GM vehicles seem to knock out intake gaskets, especially the 3.1l cars. :ohmy: I dont think you should hold the shop responsible, however, that vehicle would have NEVER left our shop, still looking coolant when it was brought in for a coolant leak, no way no how. We always double check our work, and double check for any other leaks of the same fluid, once the major leak was fixed. If we find something else we will call the customer and tell them what else was found. It is not impossible for a vehicle to have more than one leak at a time, whether it be oil or coolant, etc. I would let them do the pressure test in front of you and show you whats leaking now. It is "possible" the new water pump leaks or wasnt put on 100% properly. When you buy a waterpump, you can buy a rebuilt or a new one. We only use new ones, Airtex usually, but just because its a new one doesnt mean you cant get a bad one, been there, done that. And you wont know its bad until the job is all done and you fill it with fluid. :bang: Good luck. Mike :) [/QUOTE]
