The gimbal housing bellows (I'm assuming you mean for the universal joint) should not have any water in it - and will not have anything to do with cooling the engine.

I would get a large trash bucket of water and start the engine with the drive submerged..make sure to leave the hose in the bucket. If you don't see water coming from the exhaust, inspect/replace the impeller.
Okay, i did a compression check. The compression ranged from 105 to 120 on all cylinders except #2, which was only 75. I'm going to pull the head and see if it's okay or if I have a blown head gasket. The oil shows no signs of water getting in - it's very clear (not white). What do you think?
