Well, I was serching on the head gasket topic & came across this question. I just replaced my water pump as I was losing coolant like crazy/ $225 dollars later (for the new water pump & the labor which i didn't want to monkey with myself) I am still leaking anti freeze. Best thing to do is get it into a shop & have a pressure test done. Without knowing what symptoms you are experiencing, it is tough. Also, I can tell you that the word on the street is that the 3.1L motor is prone to having head gasket issues.
