Sorry but
you'll have to loosen the belts and turn each item by hand to see if they are seizing. A place to start anyway.
The title of your thread makes it sound like you need a urologist.

EEEEEEEEEEK. Hate to be the bearer of bad news but it does sound like the water pump and unfortunately, it's a PITA to replace!
I am not a trained mech, so take my free advice for what it's worth...
A water pump fails slowly (usually by leaking) and not by seizing.
An alternator rarely siezes either.
The smog pump however is well known for seizing w/out warning. This will cause a rubber smell to permeate the surroundings...
The belt to the smog pump also goes to the waterpump.
The quick and dirty fix is to move your A/C belt to the water/alt/main pully's. You'll loose powersteering, but will be able to drive just fine.
Replacing the smog pump with a new/reman/idler pully is in your future I'd bet.

2X on the water pump failing slowly but when they do seizing they often go clear thru the radiator.(Believe me you would have to be blind and deaf to not notice that) At least mine did :the start of the rebirth of BT60 was finally kicked off by a seized water pump.
