That's right kooch - now I'm sure someone will correct me if I've got this wrong but...
The water pump will 'fail' and it'll be the seals that go. The pump is a chunky mechanical device with gear teeth that're running off the idler shaft that also runs the distributor and oil pump at the other end. Now it IS possible that the idler shaft can break, then you would lose flow.
My first port-of-call would be to pull the rad and have it tested at a rad specialist. That way you'll know and it'll cost little or nothing. If someone's got a good spare handy you could always swap it over to test. You don't need to remove the bonnet to get the rad out either.
Let us know how you get on.
