I have a 95 4runner, V6 3VZE 3.0, I am doing the head gasket fix, I have it all apart and I am wondering about the water pump. There is a little bit of residue on the lower end of the block. I wiped off the area and it doesn't seem to be coming from the water pump. Should I replace the water pump while I am there or take it off and check it out? I haven't had any problems other than the antifreeze in the oil due to the failed gasket. Any thoughts are appreciated.
