The water pump on my '95 went at around 55k. It was definitely blown
out, the fan had a very noticeable amount of side to side play, and when
pulling on it more antifreeze would run out.
Mine was pretty expensive ($500 CDN for parts and labor), but I had it
done at the dealer. If you can, I'd suggest doing it yourself, unless
it's covered under warranty.
Good luck,
Jason
