Do I need a new water pump?
Hey guys, Just curious what sounds lead me to belive I havea bad water pump? It sounds like a dry scrape constantly maybe its something else? of course it changes with engine revs but any leads would be great.. Oil level is fine fyi.

Is the water pump pulley loose at all? Loosing any coolant? Those would be signs. Otherwise it could be the bearings in one of the other pulleys making your noise

It should be the power steering pulley, 3 bolts right on to the head coorect? It doesnt do anyting except guide the belt. You will probably want a new one.. check your junkyards and when you get it grease it up good (i have the same problem as you all the time because my engine gets put underwater)
