Question:

what causes water pump failure?

can stress from to much weight cause the engine to get hot and cause your water pump to leak out the weep hole? and what else causes it to leak?

Answer:

WELL THERES ALOTE OF THINGS BUT THE MOST LIKELY IS MILES ALOTE OF MILES THEN THEY WILL FALL APART I FOUND BEING I WORK ON CARS THAT ABOUT EVERY 50,000 MILES CHANGE THE WATER PUMP AND YOU HAVE NO PROBLEMS
This could be normal wear-and tear. Poor cooling system maintenance will cause a water pump to fail premtutrely.
There is a number of reasons for your water pump to leak. One could be its tear and wear due to years of used. Second is due to successive overheating. Weight cant cause water pump breakdown, as long as it does not overheats. To much pressure in the cooling system cause its breakdown. Hope this might help!
