well let's see. mine was in the middle of failing 986, not 987) and here's what i noticed:
VERY slight coolant smell after driving long and hard
a "whooshing" sound from the engine compartment (WP pulley wobbling)
a "rattle/grinding" noise that got faster when accelerating
but what made me really think it was the pump was some "crust" on one of the hoses. though no visible drips on the ground...
