Certainly sounds like you're running HOAT coolant, even though it should be OAT for your model as Drover says. IF you decide to address that, be very careful not to mix them or you'll have real problems as they will likely form a gel. Would be interesting to know how HOAT got in there, i.e. did you buy the car with green coolant in it? If you want to change to OAT, an extremely thorough system flush would be required to get rid of all traces of HOAT. Leaks from these water pumps are pretty common.
