Hi guys, I'm in australia and don't have parts readily available so I come to you for advice. My water pump is leaking when the engine is cold, it probably is the seal but I might as well replace the whole unit to be safe. What brand water pump would you guys recommend? I was looking at a bosch or gates racing one.

Most on here recommend the OEM pumps.

I just replaced mine about three weeks ago with this:

Beck Arnley #1312254 ~$79 USD

Are you looking to buy the part in Australia? Not sure if you get Beck Arnley parts down there. Not too sure why people say to stay away from Beck Arnley, they dont make parts. In fact the transmission mount I got from Beck Arnley was OEM for less than half the price. This water pump was made in Japan and seems to be of the same quality as the original.

Unfortunately my only hope is Ebay. I found OEM pumps on there so OEM it shall be. I think the gasket disintegrated but if i'm going to pull everything out I might as well replace the pump to be safe.
Thanks guys, helpful as always
PS. is there any way I can donate some money to the website. Without this community I'd still be scratching my head
