A coolant leak from the water pump typically indicates a worn or damaged seal, gasket, or the pump itself. This can lead to overheating and engine damage if not addressed promptly. It's important to inspect the water pump and surrounding components for any signs of wear or corrosion and replace any faulty parts. Regular maintenance can help prevent such issues in the future.

What is back pumping?

If you are talking about a water pump then the kick-back is what happens when the pump is working and the water is flowing inside the pipe then when the pump stops the water flow suddenly stops as well and the column of water inside the pipe falls back because of gravity, if this is not prevented then the impulsor inside the pump, the seal or both can get damaged.
