Water pump crapping out?

Ive developed quite a coolant leak. Seems to be coming from the little hole in the water pump. This means its bad correct?


Whats a good *better* replacement?


I did a search and cannot find the name of that high performance pump




Thanks

Yes, it's toast--inner seal is gone.

Performance pumps --see Jeg's or Summitt to get started.

I think Autozone has a couple too. Might be best if you need it quick.
