Hmmm, pumps weep when they need to be replaced. There is a hole specifically placed in the pump to let it leak when the bushing/bearing is worn out. If you are losing that much water, then yea need to get it done asap.
If you see the water pump, then you should be able to figure out what needs to be done. They are a fairly easy job, just make sure you carefully clean all excess material from the mating surfaces. G/L

You should if your engine is not ground zero be able to see residue from dried coolant, if not then yea let it get to temp/ just cruise and check it. If your ear is good enough typically it'll talk to you. kind of like there are ghosts in your vehicle it can be heard from within the cab.
