Been working on wife's 07 Se V6. Doing timing belt/water pump. Bought cheap Amazon kit. Already been chastised about it. Anyway, new pump has slight seepage before even running engine. Coolant still weeps out. Pulled everything back apart and removed pump. The impeller is covered in a whiteish goop looking stuff. I used Prestone green coolant that is supposed to be compatible with all makes. Did I use the wrong coolant or is this a bad reaction with a cheap pump?

That sucks! A buddy of mine ran into the exact same problem. He said to go to rockauto.com. I, myself, have not had any problems with Amazon, but I have not had to replace my waterpump yet. Best of luck to you.
