My father previously owned the car and told me he had to replace the water pump before he gave me the car. I have had it one year and have had to replace the water pump. I have had 6 water leaks ( all in the metal coolant hoses and the reservoir). The antifreeze is supposed to be green, but in my car it turns orange due to the rust from the metal hoses. I finally replaced all metal hoses with regular hoses, replaced the reservoir, and flushed the system and so far it has helped. Not sure if it will solve the water pump problem.
