Hot and bothered

Thought it was about time I checked the coolant level. It was very low. Checked under bonnet when I arrived at work and saw coolant dripping from the water pump housing. List of cooling system problems: viscous coupling on fan not working so fan doesn't draw; slight crack in top hose joint on radiator; leak from water pump housing; several perished hoses. All this in August. Disgraceful. I must sort this out.
