Car is 2002 986 2.7 5spd. Drove around town yesterday, smelled coolant and dismissed as odor from another car. Later that day drove car 25 miles on highway, parked car, no signs of issues. On way home smelled coolant when got off highway. Noticed a cricketing sound like a pulley or belt, not loud but present and matched the engine RPMs somewhat. Temp read around 200F which I think is a tad higher than normal.
Got home, strong coolant odor, steam coming out of passenger side engine duct, then coolant drained onto ground.
Checked car this AM. Coolant reservoir below the min but could see some in tank. Opening cap broke a vacuum as when I looked under car was dripping from middle of car.
Took a video and it appears to me that it so coming from the water pump. Here is the video:

Any ideas would be great, want to get car fixed right the first time and not get ripped off. Richard39
