not 100% sure this is your problem because i ahve not loooked at the car and you havent answered all my questions yet but its a good possibility considering ive changed out at least 10 waterpumps that had the blades compeltely corroded off..

Oops didn't see your other question, after driving, the upper hose is hot and the lower hose is slightly less than warm. If that makes any sense. It has some warmth but it's more on the cold side.

when or if you replace the pump it wouldnt hurt pull off the radiator cap and let it idle keep adding coolant till u cant add more if its an air bubble it could take as long as 20-30 min to work its way out just be ready cause if it burps it will spray.You wont hurt anything by letting it idle without the cap.
