Get a new leakless pump with stainless steel shaft. Some of the newer pumps have a collar on the front of the pump shaft so the shaft does not wobble forward to back which use to be corrected by grinding off the end of the shaft that was behind the impeller until the forward to backward gap was correct. One fitting will require greasing with water pump grease about every 500 miles. Would also suggest the new aluminum two blade fan. Make sure the fan sets on shaft snuggly so will not wobble with the thin steel washer on the front. You now can relax without worrying about failures in this area.
