'95 540 Waterpump and head gasket

["Brian Kissel" <brian@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I just had a water pump replaced a month ago, and it's leaking again.  The
mechanic says that it's leaking from the water pump "nose gasket" which is
indicative of excess pressure in the cooling system.  He says this is
occurring because the head gasket has failed and needs replaced.  He also
said that this is a very common occurrence with the '94 and '95 540 engine.
Has anyone else had similar experiences?  Are there any factory recalls or
tech-notes about this?  What other diagnostics could I do before committing
to a head gasket replacement?

Regards,

Brian
'95 540i6
