no it really is the waterpump, it is located right behind the flux capacitor....this second waterpump was installed in second year production after doc brown was out-running the lybians, he noticed a slight overheating in the plutonium chamber....it keeps the 1.21 gigawatts a little more controlled....
Sorry, forgot about that....

For what its worth....Ford has built engines with two waterpumps. The venerable flathead V-8 from 1932 to 1953 had two waterpumps - one for each bank of cylinders. I ought to know, I learned to drive in a Ford pickup with the 'high performance' version (100 hp) of the 231 cid V-8. Yeah, I KNOW I'm old.

Well, there you have it. This would certainly explain the confusion. Your mechanic clearly thinks he is working a Ford flat-head V8. Understandable mistake.

I had a Chevy with two water pumps. The one in the rear was to get the water out of the trunk!

i have one that really take the cake, was having the car towed because it would not start so i let the tow driver hear how it sounded and he told me that it was the timing BELT, this is with the hood popped clearly stating that it was a V-6 and offered to change it for me. i declined because as i told him there was no way in hell my car has a timing BELT and he swore up and down it did. well when he learned it was the V-6 model he said Oh well It might not have a timming belt then.  needless to say he will never work on my car
