Symptoms of bad water pumps?

your car will over heat and it will drain out the antifreeze (in your radiator). The water pump will drain fluid from the small hole in the water pump (hard to see) but if u look under and near the water pump you would see fluid. The water pump is normally found in the center of the serpentine belt on one of the pullies. Normally the cars serpentine belt will squeak from the antifreeze on the belt. if you are replacing the water pump you would need a water pump...a gasket for water pump and a new serpentine belt (dont buy a Napa belt)
