A worn engine water pump can show up as coolant seepage near the pump, a whining or grinding noise from the bearing, or an engine that runs hot. Before you replace the pump, rule out a leaking hose or clamp and a thermostat that is not opening properly, because either can also push the temperature up; a shop can test the cooling system.
