In Response To: How often do FW cooling pumps fail? 
()
() The FW pump on my 4-108 started leaking. The seals usually fail slow enough that you can live with the problem long enough to order one. If you do get a spare, get one with the pulley pressed on. Getting the pulley off the old pump and put on the new one became an issue for me.
Which engine do you have? How many hours on it?
