I had JiffyLube do a flush and fill of my radiator a couple of months
back.
Since then, after driving, I can smell a little antifreeze, but I can't
locate the source of it.

Here are my questions:

1. Is there a way I can find out if I've a blown seal/gasket in my
water
pump?

-Yeah, it'll leak/drip on the ground

2. What is the life expectantcy of a water pump?

A week shorter than your next paycheck

3. How hard is it to replace the pump?

Pretty hard until you figure out that the big nut is a reverse thread on
the 5.2L
