Warning Signs of a Bad Water Pump
If you’re driving a Chevy, Ford, Dodge, or any make, it’s important to recognize the early symptoms of water pump failure:
- Coolant leaks under the front of the vehicle
- Engine running hotter than normal
- Whining or grinding noises from the front of the engine
- Steam or overheating during idling or slow driving
Ignoring these signs can lead to major repairs like head gasket failures or even full engine replacements.
