My 1200 was showing the same symptoms. I was hoping that it was just the rear oring. It was bad bearings in the pump. If you replace the pump. The orings and gaskets kit does not include the mechanical seal on the shaft from the oil pump that also turns the water pump.......... order that seal also. An easy check is to remove the water pump front cover only. This is the cover the lower hose connects to. You will see the water pump impeller in there. If you can wiggle the impeller.... your toast.
Hope this makes sense...... best of luck to you.
