When a car is parked and not running... is the radiator water (or coolant) pump totally shut that water from the radiator side can't enter the engine or in equilibrium (what's the exact term)? The water pump is a centrifugal pump.. does this totally shut the inlet and outlet from mixing so that when you have a leak in the engine side.. would the radiator water decrease or would it not be affected because the centrifugal pump serves as barrier?
Or for bigger illustration. Supposed all the engine side coolant are gone. Can the radiator water or coolant still be full because the water pump is serving as barrier for any water flow between inlet and outlet?
