I've had 3 pumps replaced in 2 months. They all start dripping. I had the Mercury dealer put the last one on, cost me an arm and a leg. This last pump went 5 weeks 2 days. The rebuilts I tried only went 1 week before dripping. The dealer is replacing the last one for free. It's still a major headache for me being without transportation for a day or 2. My question is what could be causing this? Could the cap on the reservoir be bad causing a pressure build up? Could it be a bad thermostat? I love the car. It's a 96' Mystique with 84,000 miles that is super clean and well maintained. Help! Any ideas what could cause water pumps to fail so often?
