It turns into a long ass project, becuase the damn hose clamps piss me off, and I take long breaks so that I don't kick my car...

Does the coolant puddle indicate that the shaft bearing failed? (note: I have no idea wtf the shaft bearing is, I just got excited about someone diagnosing my problem)

Will replacing the pump result in a failure in the near future, just as it has in the past?
