Cracked water pump? I was pulling out in traffic the other day and ran the car up threw a few gears. At the next light I noticed smoke from the hood. I immediately looked at my gauges and all was good except my volt gauge was in really low in the yellow. The light changed and I go to pull into the parking lot and after about 300ft the volt gauge jumps up to normal. I pull in and smoke is rolling out, and when I lift the hood it's pouring from behind the water pump. When I put water in it, even with the car shut off it just comes out from behind the pump. I really haven't had the chance to get a good look at it yet, but does this sound like anything anyone's ran across? Car runs fine, it will just start to over heat if I let it run sitting still.
The fact that you had a problem (alternator) with another belt driven accesory might also point to the pump seizing up. You may also check your belt to make sure it didn't get burned up.
