Folks:

Call me stupid...

I had JiffyLube do a flush and fill of my radiator a couple of months back.
Since then, after driving, I can smell a little antifreeze, but I can't
locate the source of it.

Here are my questions:

1. Is there a way I can find out if I've a blown seal/gasket in my water
pump?
2. What is the life expectantcy of a water pump?
3. How hard is it to replace the pump?

I have a '97 4x4 V8 5spd with ~ 75k miles.

Thanx!

-Travis
