water pump
Is there a way to test the water pump? Here lately I've noticed the hot smell of coolent after driving. None of the dummie lights have come on, and I see not leakage. However, I'm hitting the road this weekend and dont want to worry about it 'officially' going out in the middle of no where.
Any ideas, suggestions, etc? Thanks ~BamaRodeo

Re: water pump
normally you will see a little leaking, and will hear a bit of bearing noise.

Re: water pump
My waterpump failure didn't really give any warning - no leaking, no noise. Except 2 days before it went, I started hearing this bearing type noise, but it was also REAL cold so I didn't think too much about it; finally on the 3rd morning it started sounding like I threw a rod and was dumping antifreeze everywhere - at that point it was a given.

Re: water pump
Look around for leaks! Search to find the common spots.
