I have a 97 DeVille in need of gasket replacement on the water cross over. I have seen some discussions on what else to do while in there. I am planning to replace the gaskets (obvious), the water pump, and water pump seals. Should I also replace the water pump housing? Ihave a small leak at the water pump in addition to the leak from the cross overseals.This is the second water pump Ihave put in it(with new seals bothtimes) soI am thinking the housing may be warped. Any thoughts?

 

Housing should not be warped, gaskets are just wore out. Gaskets are the nylon with the seal made to it, they only last so long and then one of the 4 will split or crack and leak.
