when i went to look at it today the coolant was only sprayed over the left side of the engine. it might not even be the waterpump but im not sure. 
??? The Duratec has a thermostat.
Left side, you mean the drivers side or passenger side? If it's the passenger side, is the cap on the expansion tank loose?
When you were looking at the car, was the engine bay "spotless" or did it have the normal amount of dust/dirt? I did not detail the car before I traded it. I ask because maybe the detailer loosened the cap on the expansion tank?
If it's the drivers side, and the coolant is all over the transmission, then it could be the waterpump.
