I don't think impeller blades check will provide much info - waterpumps either work or start to leak around the seals, then eventually will fail ... I don't think I've seen a "weak" one.

If you don't have good pressure in the system due to a bad seal on the waterpump it can cause strange things to happen - check the waterpump weep hole to see if you are getting any seepage.
