Faulty Water Pump?

The water pump is designed to leak slightly when it needs replacing. Most of the time it is worn bearings but the have been known to break blades. This reduces the performance of the pump and bits of the blade can block water ways and make noises in the water pump housing. If you are losing coolant or the car over heats easily, you might need to change the pump.

Draining The Coolant

You don’t have to drain the coolant if the water pump bearing have failed, however, it is a good idea to do it anyway and if there is any damage to the blades then the coolant may be contaminated with metal particles. Changing the coolant can be found here.

Water Pump Removal
