Default Water Pump Question

The guy doing my timing chain said my water pump is really bad, what kind of symptoms would I be getting if any? Any performance problems? I think he said there was a bunch of crap stuck in it or something.

And my other question: is it required to drain the radiator to replace the waterpump?

just replace it while he is doing the timing chain since it will have to be removed anyway. yes have to drain the radiator.

yea I already told him to replace it, I don't have any way to get to autozone and buy a waterpump and bring it to him so I told him to buy it but he has to mark up the price, so instead of 59.99 it'll be like 80 bucks

called autozone and they are too lazy to deliver 1 block away
