For the past week my jeep has been having over heating and loss of power, today I was in the mcdonalds drive thru and I was idling for a long time dude to poor service an while idoling my temp gauge shot right up, so I pulled over of course and popped my hood, my good friend just so happen to be driving past and stopped to talk to me, he's a mechanic at a local ford dealer and what we could see is that the a little collant on the top of the water pump an my collant gas turned a funky color, does this sound normal with a water pump failure and is it a easy diy project?

 

Sounds like cooling system neglect/lack of maintenance......time for some cooling system TLC. It hasn't even gotten hot yet.....git 'r done.
