water pump replacement

What is your question?

2010 caddy DTS, does it seem unusual that my water pump needs to be replaced? It is currently leaking a bit, and a smell of antifreeze comes in the car....also should thermostat be replaced too? thanks

If it's higher mileage it could be bad. As with everything else now days, any part can fail at anytime. As far as the thermostat, it's always good to do preventative maintenance.

I had a 1994 northstar engine and had to replace the water pump twice @ under 100,000 miles. I now have a 2006 and the report I got on the car said water pump had been replaced twice. I would say that the water pump on the northstar engine is a weak spot on this otherwise good hot rod engine.
