Symptoms of a failing Water Pump

Overheating

Did you really need that spelled out? The water pump is part of the cooling system. When it fails, the ability to cool the engine might also fail, and then you have an overheated engine.

Leaking coolant

You just love leaks from your car, don’t you? Yeah. They’re super lovable. If you’re not familiar with the various liquids in your car, then a leak can be anything. But if you can tell that the leak is coolant, then it’s...well...a coolant issue, which means the water pump may have a leak.

Low coolant level

Look, not everyone has eagle eyes. Maybe you didn’t spot all those leaks under your car. Maybe you ignored them. Yeah, that sounds more likely. But if you notice a low coolant level, then it’s because there’s a leak, and your water pump might be the guilty party.

Noisy operation

You’re not being slick if you try to growl when revving the engine. But your car isn’t being slick, either. A weird growling noise from the engine is the sign of an unhappy water pump.
