It's either that, the gasket for the pump or the O ring between the pump and the water cross pipe.

Evo III so old school DSM effectively. I may be wrong but I think the 5 bolts holding the pump on have different torque numbers. I have always despised the water pump on the G63. It's too easy to bend or fold the gasket when you put it on.

The crosspipe O-ring does get pretty crusty after it heat cycles a bunch of times. I have never had on S the bed on me but it's possible. I have also never been able to find a common source replacement for that O-ring. It is an odd size to my local parts store and they don't carry it.
