A failing water pump can cause engine overheating, leading to severe damage. Look out for:

🚨 Warning Signs:
✔️ Coolant Leaks – Puddle under the car usually green, orange, o r pink fluid.
✔️ Overheating Engine – Rising temperature gauge, steam from the hood.
✔️ Grinding o r Whining Noises – Worn-out bearings inside the pump.
✔️ Coolant Smell – Sweet smell near the engine bay.
✔️ Fluctuating Temperature Gauge – Temperature suddenly rising and falling.

📌 Ignoring these symptoms can lead to engine failure!
