Best Answer

Some pumps have been known to make a very distinct, disturbing noise before leaking or going completely bad.

AnswerFor the most part yes. However, if the water pump is seized, and is the original one from the factory, it may not have a 'weep hole' which leaks, lowering the pressure, and will not be wet at all. if you suspect the water pump is defective, get it replaced immediately! What ever the price, its a lot cheaper than a new engine.
