I just replaced a water pump last month. The water pump failure was serious in this case. The crankcase had ~2 quarts of coolant in it. If the bottom oil seal goes out first you really don't notice much from the side weep hole. When the top water seal starts leaking the pulsating negative crankcase pressure will pull the water in. When I added coolant with the engine running, the water didn't pour out the weep hole. With engine off the leak was obvious. Best to test the water pump by pressurizing the cooling system and checking for leaks.
