Is my WATER PUMP bad?

I was a bit low on gas and had the front on ramps. I was low but it wasn't on empty, the light wasn't on.
I did not remove spark plug wires. I checked the wires and the spark plugs and noticed that spark plugs #3 and #5 seemed a bit wet.
I am losing coolant (currently just water). I don't see any leaks but I am having to refill about a half inch in the morning.
Sigh... I fear it is a cracked head or block.

A bad reservoir cap can cause the expansion tank to over flow but you would see coolant underneath it on the floor.
You may have to get the UV dye for the cooling system to help find your leak.

If you are not seeing coolant leaking on the ground then I would check the oil to see if it is mixing with water.

This morning I went to fill it back up to the line and when I tried to open the expansion tank cap, it was pressured a lot and when I released all the pressure, the level came back to normal....

So, the new pump with the brass impeller is the one you bought from autozone with a lifetime warranty? Does it say Airtex on the box or pump?

Yeah, I got that one from Autozone. I'm not sure but it has this print on it that the stock one had except instead of "A-01" it said "A-02". Here is a pic of the old one, couldn't get a shot of the new one since its already on the car.
This is the one I got, it had brass impeller. Duralast.

So how did you come out? did you get your problem fixed?
