Waterpump help

i have a 07 v6 with 55k and the water pump is beginning to leak, within the last month it went from the low mark to nothing in the reservoir

what place has the cheapest oem waterpump

realistically for someone who is mechanically inclined but not done any engine work before how long would the install take

would i want to replace the bearings and belts while im in there?

most importantly for now what type of coolent can i put in for now?

 

Do you see the coolant leaking anywhere? Or is it just "disappearing"? If you don't see it leaking, make sure to check your oil- could be a head gasket.

 

Does Aisin make OEM Toyota parts?
edit: just called the dealer their water pump is stamped Aisin on it, but I am unsure if they did some running changes to it

I found this Aisin water pump, is this the current OEM WP sold by dealers?

Every dealer I've called wants between $170-210

check this site to see if the part numbers are the same, I ordered one from rock auto aisin for my wifes solara and it worked great cheaper also, I had it in like two days.

 

Here is another post where they used this same water pump, cheaper from Amazon.com.

Aisin is the OE supplier to Toyota of water pumps. Toyota is a part owner of Aisin, as they also are a part owner of Denso. Aisin aftermarket pumps are identical to the pump a Toyota dealer would sell you other than it will not say "Toyota" on the casting.
