What are the dangers of leaving a worn out water pump on?

Also is it a job that you can do yourself,and does the cam belt have to come off

Cam belt off job. If you leave it you will run the risk of overheating, and little bits of water pump going off on a holiday around your cooling system.

Pump could also seize up, snapping your cambelt, then youve got a nice door stop
