My car's "spare" water pump, has been living the good life, in Horrie's trunk, for MANY years. His existing water pump, just today (at the end of a 100 mile road trip) began leaking (pouring-out) big-time-enuf....Got him home, and to a gas station, before noticing the active leakage, and with no over-heating occurring.Question: do water pumps dry out, internally, when dry-stored, for many years???? His "spare" water pump's impeller turns somewhat/rather stiffly, but SMOOTHLY, and with NO lost-motion to its operation. Germans, and maybe the Swiss, too) would describe the impeller's current turning/rotating effort-needed as being Gutenteit. So, is Horrie's spare water pump in good operating condition (with its stiffly-but-smoothly turning impeller), or should/could the impeller-system be overhauled or somehow lubricated before being installed on H.'s engine????Gaskets are cheap-enough, and my spare one is SLIGHTLY warped, and has one mounting hole in it, that has a slight crack in it.So, I suppose that that gasket, after all 'these' years, is righteously HISTORY, now.... What should I do, to ensure the good operation of his spare water pump, or to confirm that the spare water pump IS in good operating condition?
