Sorry for the late reply, but here is a possible problem.  I have seen, 
on occasion, the impeller in a water pump loosen itself from the shaft 
and virtually stop pumping fluid.  I know it's very rare, but still a 
possibility to explore, should you not be able to resolve the issue by 
other means...
