A water pump has a "weep" hole. When the seals start to wear out the water pump will still start to leak from this hole. When this happens it is time to change the water pump.
They usually start to leak coolant.
Yes. If a water pump is leaking, it leaks anti freeze. Anti freeze, (coolant) can also leak from the radiator, or from water hoses.
In most cases the water pump will start to leak coolant when it is going bad.
If a water pump is bad they usually leak coolant
It is rare for a water pump not to work however a water pump going bad will leak coolant and can be noisy from bad bearings.
Could be a bad water pump or a leak in the line
Mostly untight hose clamps or a hairline crack on the radiator drives side. Coolant will also leak from a faulty water pump
Very likely
There are a few things that can cause a coolant leak but in your case it is probably the water pump. When a water pump starts to go bad it will leak coolant from the bottom.
what is the question? why it would overheat???? if so: because -thermostat is stuck closed -or no coolant -or head gasket leak -or coolant system leak -or bad water pump -or clog in coolant system -or ......
Brake fluid can corrode your water pump. If you didn't start the engine after installing the brake fluid, then pump the reservoir empty, flush it with water and refill it with proper coolant. If you DID start it, you need to flush the whole cooling system.
