Default You're not seeing puddles most likely because it's only leaking
when the system is warm. The coolant escapes in the form of vapor. So you might need to look for signs of residue only..

Default Change that pump ASAP!!!!! If it's leaking, it will fail soon...
when it fails, your engine will go BOOM.

Default No, but lots of others have. The timing belt drives the waterpump...
if that pump locks up, your belt will wear thin, break, and your engine will be junked.
