But does any one know what the deal is with this thing. my car just over heats and leaks through the water pump! I have a V6 2.5 liter 24 Valve engine. 96 Contour Sport (Color:wine) -moonroof -premium sound -Jensen cd player -15" subs

Also be sure that you put a new gasket on when you put the new pump on and that no old gasket is sticking to the mounting points....

I think yoou can find a WP with a metal impeller by looking through the Mods section on this site. As for your current problem, have you replaced the thermostat?
