Where's my coolant going?

[Alexander van Gerbig]

    This is also an option I have overlooked.  Though this doesn't explain
the excessive white smoke issues.  I had my timing belt, tensioner, and all
belts done when I bought the car, all the belts were 9 years old, but only
had 17k miles on them.  All the seals were done too, but no ever touched the
water pump.  My car has reached the 60k mark, 62,5k to be exact.  This is
the time to think about waserpump isn't it?  Though I don't see any dribbles
from it?  How else could the pump be loosing coolant?  I am almost certain
it's a head gasket, but the pump needs to be replaced too...

Thanks!
