Just putting this out there.
Recently replaced a water pump and to my surprise the impeller had rusted almost all the way off. this issue also caused overheating and coolant loss into the oil.
as well as I had to replace the heater core due to internal blockage.
I have pictures posted here on flickr of the damage
it is extensive as you will see!!!!!!!

Thanks for the photos. This is a common issue that has been addressed on this forum a few times in the past.
