blown head gaskets can drive
gasket can be blown between cooling port and oil return

you either have a cracked head (block) or gasket stuffed take the lid off the radiator while the car is running and if there are a lot of bubbles you have a cracked head if only a few you need a new gasket, having done this recently be prepared for a big job.

If you know the water pump is bad,then that means no coolant is being recirculating thru the engine. Therefore your engine temp. is hot,and when it is hot it needs to blow some steam since your coolant is not being circulating into the radiator. So your head gasket is blown. If you would've fix the waterpump,you wouldn't had a blown head gasket.

Most likely the head gasket but the block could be cracked. Go to a mechanic and get them to do a compression test.

Either way, you are in for a bad time. First check your gaskets, No! Change your gaskets. Then go from there. Hope it's only a gasket for you! Good Luck.

Sounds like you've got a blown head gasket, mate. Worse scenario could have a cracked cylinder head or just badly warped.

sounds as if the engine overheated due to a bad water pump.see if the oil smells burned.also smell the radiator for a burnt smell.if over heating cause this most likely the engine is junk.if it didn't over heat but is leaking collant into the oil it will need a head gasket replaced

I would say a blown head Gasket..
If your car is missing, It is more than likely a blown head gasket.

If you are REALLY lucky it is just a head gasket.
Bad Idea to run your car when you know you have a bad water pump. Small amount of $ invested to fix that saves $$$$$$ later on.
