Water pump Gates or OEM Toyota

Update: it was the water pump. Got a new Gates water pump (screws and gasket included). Installed it, no sealant or anything. Works flawlessly. Not a drop anywhere.

I used the gates kit from rock auto including the gates water pump… Car seems to be driving fine for the past few thousand miles since install.

I usually end up with Gates or AC Delco.

Can't go wrong with a Gates pump.

I went with Gates. My oem pump on my Mazda CX9 failed at 90k.... The bearing failed and the amount of bearing material in the housing was crazy.

Last time I got a new Gates water pump (made in china) the flange position on the shaft was a little different than my old one but it was close enough.

Did a gates kit on mine. Water pump is leaking after 60k miles.

My water pump was leaking this Fall at 235k. New mechanic showed me the leaky pump and it was oem toyota.

Their water pump especially is garbage.

I use the aisin kit or oem honda. I’ve had the tensioners in the dayco kits fail, and the water pumps in the gates kits fail
