A car that keeps overheating should not be driven.
Light blue smoke is burning engine oil. This is probably a sign that overheating has damaged the engine.
Water pump can leak coolant, make a noise and even wreck the engine under some circumstances but they have little to do with engine oil. If the water pump leaks it is an external leak.
If there are no external coolant leaks then yes it could be the head gasket or perhaps a crack somewhere...
It could be that thelittle ball that stops the water from leaking is broken, you will need to get anew one so for the time being put a little bowl of water in the nest, make sureyou change the water regular though as it will get bedding in it.
You need to check where the water is going, Look for external leaks, check the hoses for wet spots and look at the pulley end of the motor to see if there is water coming from the back of the waterpump. If you can't find any external leaks the bad news is that it's an internal leak which will mean that your head gasket is leaking and will need to be repaired.
The water pump is next to front right wheel, so if it is leaking around there chances are that it is the water pump...try checking the radiator by flushing water through it and checking for leaks, if not well then it has to be the water pump.
I had the same problem.. I took the clear rubber grommet piece off and added an additonal o ring I had left over from a pur water filter kit and it stops the water from leaking. What does annoy me is that it only pushes water cleanly through for about 30 sec then it drips very slowly for the remaining brew to fill two full shots (I like mine big).
