Water pump

I have a 99 PSD and looked underneath the other day and saw some coolant drops on the radiator hose it only has 81.000k on it. it doesnt run hot on temp guage or there are no spots on the blacktop. it didnt think they had a problem with water pumps. anyone had any problems with it. i put the coolant additive in every 15,000k . any feedback?

My same old advice is, that if your water pump shows any sign of going, replace it immediately, since if the bearing gets loose the impeller can move back slightly eating through the front engine cover and dumping the antifreeze into the oil pan which will ruin the bearings in short order.

My water pump went out at 34,000 miles. Thank God for the Waranty. I will add a coolant filter as soon as UPS delivers it - Hopefully this week!
