Water pump leakage hurts engine?

There is no coolant leakage when the car parks(even after several nights). But some coolant leaks when leaving the parking place. The engine temperature is normal when driving on freeway. I went to gargage and got the conclusion that the waterbump leaks.

So now I will check the coolant level before my departure everytime. Will the small waterbump coolant leakage hurt the engine? or other parts? Thanks.

BTW, what's the normal tire pressure for J30t(The max pressure of my tire is 35 psi)? I didn't find it in my owner manual.

Thanks a lot.

Water pump leakage shows that the pump is failing.. Failed water pump could equal overheat, and over heat could equal new engine... Best to replace the water pump BEFORE it fails... Pay now, or pay a lot more later

Regards to your tire pressure, I run my firestones at 40 all around.....
