With the overflow plugged it was probably building up some pretty good
pressure, which I'm sure led to the failure of the pump seal.  It is such an
odd thing to have happened, but I'm glad that my days of chasing the drips
of coolant are over.  I think that the hoses must be there to stay, since
they didn't blow off.

        In "The Book" Tracy strongly suggests installing a coolant system pressure gauge. It sounds like it might be a good suggestion, in light of the trouble you had.
