I just replaced a 20 year old raw water pump on a 3GM30F Euro version.   I
paid ~ $250 US for the pump.   I discovered a tiny weep from the pump while
hunting down other issues.  A weeping pump is a sign of bearing wear and
bearing seal wear.  You can purchase a rebuild kit but it wasn’t enough
savings to justify my time.  I decided to do a little preventative
maintenance by replacing the whole pump and saving the old pump as an
emergency spare.
