If this is an interference motor (Which it probably is) It should have been changed 3 times by now going on 4 so your definitlly on barrowed time. On some cars the water pump is run off the Timing Belt in this case it's usually it's recommended that the water pump be changed at the same time

My son's 2007 2.4L broke on the freeway. It had 50k on the second timing belt. Just finished installing the new head. 800 bucks worth of parts. Don't wait to change it!

    My 2007 Mitsubishi Eclipse manual says you need to change the timing belt at 60,000 (seems very early to me) - but at 105,000 if I live in California. Sounds like I need to move there after I hit 60,...
