Waterpump?

I hate to ask a retarded question but. I was driving the camaro home about a week ago. I noticed that the temp gauge was dangerously close to the red. I pulled into a gas station and coolant was gushing out of the resevoir. I filled the radiator up and did the air evac procedure with the bleeder screws. I made it home and it did the exact same thing again. The oil and coolant are NOT mixed so I know its not head gaskets. There was just coolant everywhere so I couldn't tell if it was leaking out the weep whole. I think its the waterpump since everything is coming out the resevoir and nothing is making it to the block. The waterpump was a new/reman unit about 19 months ago. (i changed it when i did my opti) Any thoughts? I am laid off right now and don't want to waste money on something I don't need.

Get a Stant brand

Bought two from Kragen/O'Reilly - neither of the house brands were any good. Went to a "real auto parts store" and purchased a Stant 18lb cap and no problems.
