Klaus-
The fan will amplify the sound of a water pump bearing going south.
Usually it starts getting loose before it starts to leak so there are a couple things you can do.
First see if the bearing seems to be good and tight by trying to move the fan blade.. (acute)
Second, keep looking for signs of coolant exit from the front of the water pump.
It will manifest as a ring across the hood and around the engine compartment. (chronic)
If you keep plenty of coolant in it you probably won't get into an emergency situation unless you
drive it on a long trip.
