Often it will make a horrible screaming sound. This usually begins when the car is started or turned off and later becomes noticable all the time before it fails.
Serious overheating after driving about 5 - 10 minutes is usually due to a failed water pump or the lower reservoir of the radiator being empty (sometime both). A blown head gasket or rust fouling the radiator can produce the same symptoms, but the blown head gasket will usually have other symptoms, too, such as running very roughly, white smoke, even a machine gun like sound from the engine. Rust fouling the radiator or an empty cooling system are pretty easy to spot.
If it is leaking water, it is bad.
i don't know how long a water pump should last, but mine just went out on my 2005 TB at 47,000 miles. ugh.
You will know if you have a leaky water pump because it will be leaking coolant out of the water pump.
When my water pump went on mine, my car would constantly overheat for no reason, there is a safety valve on the pump which lets coolant out of it when the car is running and pressure builds up. You have it pressure tested, the water pump will normally leak externally under pressure.
loose water pump pulley and overheating engine
i don t know. how do u seal a water pump?
my water pump just went out and i thought that the squealing was my belt but turned out to be my water pump and the fact it was leaking anti-freeze. so yes
There could be a couple of reasons why a windshield water pump won't spray. There could be a clog or the pump has went out.

I dont know how to change the water pump??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
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.
In most cases the water pump will start to leak coolant when it is going bad.
