Only a matter of time. Sounds like your bearings are toast.

Just because there aren't classic symptoms of a bad water pump here the pump bearings are toast. Once those give out, then you'll overheat... its only a matter of time. You would be smart by changing it now than having to have your car towed when it overheats.
