This car has had a water pump replacement when I first bought it. I bought it used at 62,000 mi. I had a fan to blow and the car runs hot when idling. Only recently it began to overheat and lose coolant. Now the coolant leaks faster than before. Why?

Pressure test the radiator/cooling system, this will pinpoint the leak(s).
