Cat Fuzz...i know that there are "kits" out there that sell the GMB water pump, tensioner, the idler, the belt and bolts...but none of them sell the spring loaded pusher...why is that...you'd think that every kit should include it? And, i'm not seein any antifreeze on the ground, i'd think if the water pump leaked i'd see it somewhere. Is this kit
