Off hand I'd be geussing plastic impeller, like baldlobo. Also check for coolant around the head gasket at the left front corner of the head(as it's positioned in the vehicle) they usually leak externally before any other symptoms
I don't know that it would be the head gasket. He didn't say he was loosing or could smell coolant but that the car was running hot. I'm not saying it can't be a head gasket but at this point either a failed water pump or clogged radiator is far more likely based on the symptoms we have.
