Heard some tin tin tin sound in the pully area., and saw dripping coolant, I guess my water has gone ...

I ordered from sunset., 190 shipped.... opened every thing up .......

NOW here is the sad part.... found out one piece of the fins fall off from the old pump and its now somewhere in the system...

Can any body point me to the right place where I can open up and found that fallen piece of metal/plastic? ?

thanks

You can find the broken part mostly in the thermostat housing, besides the pump. Remove the thermostat and keep the new pump apart, for better access in that part of the engine. A new thermostat housing gasket is needed.

I will try to look for it there., what if I can't find it?... will it do any harm if I leave that broken piece in the system.... rule out that the car do not overheat.

That doesn't sound good. What about opening up the hoses close to the water pump that have 90 degree bends in them? May be caught in there. Furthest I would imagine is at the intake to the radiators. Doubt it could go through the fins in those unless it was chopped up really fine.
