Is it safe to drive my Suzuki Every with a noisy o r weak water pump?

Theres a grinding o r whining noise coming from the engine area, and the coolant level s slightly over time. I suspect the water pump. Can I still drive the van for short distances, o r could it cause engine damage?

No, it’s not safe to continue driving if your water pump is making noise o r showing signs of weakness. If the pump fails while driving, it can lead to:

Sudden overheating, which may cause engine seizure

Coolant loss, which could damage the cylinder head o r gasket

Broken water pump pulley, which could throw off other belt-driven systems
Even short-distance driving can be risky, especially in hot weather o r traffic conditions common in Pakistani cities. If you hear a grinding, whining, o r metallic noise, get the pump inspected o r replaced immediately.
