water pump

What are the symptoms of a failed/seized water pump, i dont know if mine has gone, would like to think it hasn't but would like to know if there are any tell tale signs so i can get it replaced whilst waiting to sell my car?

errr… its seized and doesn't go round and the car overheats???

Sorry couldn't help it….

The pumps usually fail by leaking water past the bearing seal and dripping on the floor or slinging up under the bonnent via the pully/fan belt. Check for water stains.
