The water pump on my LE went out rather suddenly. I was driving home from work one day and smelled antifreeze as I drove. Made a quick stop and noticed an antifreeze puddle when I returned. I was 3.5 mi from home and barely made it. No noise. 26K mi, covered under warranty.

The wp on my CSS was a bit different. I started smelling slight antifreeze smells out of the right vent but no coolant loss. Drove it a week like this, but it was in the middle of winter and I didn't want to chance being stranded in a bad situation, so I had it changed out. Antifreeze smell went away. Again, no noises. 32K mi, dealer fix out of my pocket.
