Default Waterpump and VSC light

So real quick here, i know our water pump seems to leak out after couple year, and long behold mine leaking too. I took my car in due to the leak, and now they are only replacing a Seal? They said lexus has a TSB out for it, but it needs to be a MAJOR leak. Once i pick up my car, my SR said he has a picture from lexus that they need to follow that he will show me.

Another note, i did have a few encounter of Check VSC light, with all the other lights turning on my dash. It did clear after i restarted the car, but i noted it while i took it in for my Waterpump. They told me that the Brake light actuator needs to be replaced, which it will be under warranty but its around $2000.. YIKES!

Can you take a pic of the water pump? Are all the bolts turning pink on it?

How many miles do you currently have on the F? Seems strange that the brake light actuator needs replacing, that's some serious $. I did a quick google search and found Lexus cars with 200k miles on them.

mines a 08 with 40k miles on them. I think so too. I thought it was my O2 sensors because everytime the VSC light came on was whenever i pushed the car, and i thought my O2 sensors were crapping out, but i guess when they ran the code the actuator popped up. better to get it all replaced now under warranty rather than breaking later down the road and you have to shell out 2grand..
