I have a 2007 Yukon Denali with 60k miles on it. I have been noticing a single drop of coolant on my garage floor. I cant see the weep holes but when I feel the bottom of the water pump I get coolant. I am going to assume that means I need a new water pump. I havent found any good write-ups on the replacement. Does anyone have any words of wisdom?

Is this a common problem with the 6.2l? Before this I had a 2003 Denali which I finally sold with 170k miles on it, no problems, it still had original tranny and water pump.
