This gasket essentially seals the water pump to the engine block. It creates a watertight barrier where those two parts meet. It's a pretty simple part, really, just a shaped piece of material – usually some kind of composite or rubber – designed to be squeezed between those surfaces. Think of your cooling system like the circulatory system in your body. The water pump is the heart, pushing coolant through the engine to keep it from overheating. The gasket’s job is to make sure that coolant stays inside that system. It prevents leaks where the pump connects to the engine. It’s positioned right there where the pump housing meets the engine block, so it’s a key part of keeping everything sealed up. Well, if this gasket fails, you'll have a coolant leak. Coolant leaking isn’t good – it can cause your engine to overheat, and that can lead to some seriously expensive repairs. You’ll notice if it’s leaking, usually as a puddle of green or orange fluid under the front of your car, or you might smell coolant—it's kind of sweet smelling. It acts like a shield, protecting your engine. Replacing this gasket is usually done when you're already replacing the water pump itself, because you have to take everything apart to get to it. A lot of folks order these online—Fixparts Online has a good selection, if you’re looking. But even a new water pump won't do you much good if you don’t use a fresh gasket to seal it correctly. Stand out from the crowd: Water Pump Gasket (MPN 710.560) has a 12-month warranty!
