afonda, yes, when a water pump goes bad, it tends to take the front seal with it, so, it will start to leak out around the shaft. in some cases, if the impeller gets too corroded/eaten up, you will start getting overheating problems when driving down the highway but the car will be fine in town.

If you need more help, let me know. By the way, I'm about 90 minutes away from you on the other side of the 301 bridge. So, if you need some help......
