But what about the other way round? I just changed my timing belt and front 
cam seals, and two weeks later my water pump is starting to leak 
sporadically. With 20K miles on it. Also it invariably happens after the 
radiator/block has been emptied for a couple of days and the pump dries out, 
but can it go in a space of three hours?
