How much should repairing a water pump leak cost?

I know this is a pretty broad question, but I have a really old car and it may not even be worth it to take it to a garage. It's a '95 Subaru Legacy wagon. It's severely leaking water (especially when the radiator cap is off), and it looks like the leak is from the water pump.



Any ballpark of how much this could wind up costing at a garage would be appreciated.How much should repairing a water pump leak cost?As with any off-shore company owned car, replacement parts are expensive. To give you an idea autopartswaerhouse.com has re-manufactured water pumps from $60. - $72.00 for your particular car. A local Subaru dealer ship would really sting you if you had it repaired there as they most likely install a brand new water pump.



A private mechanic could change the pump within an hour. You could possibly find a replacement pump locally at Carquest, Advance Auto and Auto Zone as a last resort.
