I´ve got a coolant leak around under the waterpump just where the gasket is supposed to be and of course some driplets further down as well!

So what to do, change the (working) thermostat as well while I´m at it or just the waterpump?

Is there anything about removing the vibration damper (to gain access to the 2 lower pump bolts) that could cause me problems or is it straight forward?

Any input will be greatly appreciated!
