How would you check if the water pump for a 1992 Suzuki Sidekick has gone bad?

The easiest way to verify a faulty water pump is by the "weep hole" located on the top of the pump's housing. Next you can verify flow in the cooling system by (be sure the engine is cool)running the engine at idle with the rad cap open. You want to stimulate some cross flow of coolant across the opening at the cap by gently squeezing the upper hose down from the thermostat outlet, after each squeeze you will should see surge and recession of coolant and flow. If the pump is faulty, the bearing squeals like a banshee, as well as coolant leaks from the weephole, high engine temperatures at idle and speed. If your pump is faulty, chances are you will know it, you should replace it very soon as overheating damage can be devastating.
