My Regal was leaking coolant from somewhere other than the radiator or reservoir. it looks like it was coming from what I later realized was the water pump. Does taht mean my water pump is bad? My serpentine belt got wet, slipped off and shredded. And before the belt shredded, I noticed my radiator fans weren't spinning. Are they suppose to spin all the time?

fans dont spin all of the time ,and if the water pump is leaking it is bad ,
when replacing the water pump i would recommend replacing the serpentine belt tensioner and of course you need a belt , it almost sounds like the water pump locked up , try and move the pulley by hand
