Hate to add to the never ending list of things to do, but you might as well pull the water pump and check the water distribution tube. Unless somebody replaced it at some point, it's probably shot, or at a minimum, clogged.
It's a lot more effective to flush the block with the water pump off and the distribution tube out. And, don't forget to remove and replace the small core plug on the top of the engine.
