i wouldn't take a chance with the leak...the pumps normally leak to show there is an issue with it...

with the leak, more air will enter the cooling system and your temp sensor wont be able to read the temp of the water.

the more air enters the system, the more inaccurate the temp gauge will be.

and i have tested this...

a car without water in the system will show normal operating temperature :shock: :x
