Was there any wetness / run off marks around the hole where the pump shaft goes through the housing? Coolant can leak past the bearing once worn. Usually first sign of impending doom...

When the water pump leaks it leaks out the vent hole,,When you you take it out its not visible..(ie a crack) Only visible when a pressure check is made...

I did some research about this and they actually had a Manual (unwrapped) at the auto parts store that I looked at. Talked about the "weap hole"...NOT A LEAK, NO WATER or SIGNS OF Leakage!!!
Bearing was fine inside. I have some experience with bearings and this was fine. The guy was Bullsh!ting me.......

You most likely have an air pocket in the system somewhere.
Does that thing have a bleeder screw somewhere? Usuall mounted somewhere at a high point in the cooling system. If no bleeder screw, let the engine cool down so u don;t get burnt and pull off a heater hose and pour some coolant into radiator untill it purges all air out, sometimes it has to be done a few times. Air can be a bitch to get out on some vehicles. OH, do it with the engine off..Or you'll have a huge mess. |

That very well could be it!!!! Seemed like the system didn't take as much as what came out. Must be an air bubble. Good thing I thought to bring the gallon of Antifreeze with me. That's probably it......even though I feel stupid, I'm glad it's something stupid....I hope.

This is why we use an "air lift" to fill the system!
It pulls a vacuum in the cooling system collapsing the hoses and s#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&g the coolant in with NO air pockets..
