jaykay - I'm pretty sure the OEM pump had a bit of drag but was smooth and tight. It did not spin much at all after you let go. As long as you don't hear any scraping or irregular sounds you should be good.
As far as sounds when mine blew up, I had my head under the car earlier that day or the day before and heard nothing too strange. While driving I heard an intermittent squeak/squeal/chirp that I attributed to the Ferrari 308 in front of me. I'm not sure if that was me or not but but 10 or so miles later there was steam coming out the back and at low speeds it sounded like a bag of rocks being shuffled around.
And as far as leaking, the coolant tank had not lost any fluid in nearly 2 years. So it was not dripping any coolant before it failed either.
