There are A couple of things that can happen, ALL BAD. Here is A short list: Pump can lock up, If it locks it can break the drive belt and allow the engine to overheat, Pump can ruin the seal, seal failure can allow all the water to be lost, engine will overheat, The shaft on the pump can break and the pulley or fan if its attached can come off and ruin radiator, << If the water is lost or stops flowing the engine can get too hot before you can stop the car, even if you stop immediately. >>You would be surprised at how effective the water is at removing heat, thus NOT REMOVING heat it if its not working.
