A bad bearing or seal shows up as coolant dripping/oozing from the seep hole on the botton of the pump. Noise would also be a sign.

I think I've once heard of an impellar failure, so I would not remotely think that is an issue. Bearing failure and afterwards seal failure are the most common issues.

Really, you'll know it (water leak) if it's needing replacement.

Good luck with the cooling system bud.

That's always a possibility (regarding the motor).

For your radiator, are you upgrading? It might be wise, given the temps you see and your mods.

Good luck bud.
