Serious Leak from Water pump ?

Guys , i have a big leak from my water pump, i think i need to get a new one. Anyone replaced theirs before ? how much would the dealer charge for one and everything ? Are there High performance water pumps ?? you know the rule , if it breaks , always upgrade.

I think the part is like $100. I think it is the same one they use on the 300ZX.. I did this job before on a 3rd gen.. It took me a day. Well non the less I just bought for a 300ZX-TT and it was $100 and took me 5 hrs to install..

Actually I think is the same part.. http://www.courtesyparts.com/ lists the 300ZX one for $86.00.. Call them and tell them you need a maxima one they will know.. none the less DON'T drive w/ it messed up.. Your leak is probably from the weap hole but it is a sign! Your bearing is now exposed to water and it can fail and shear the pully part off.. What a mess that will be..
