the pulley attaches to the water pump by bolts so doubt it's the pulley. is the thermostat opening up?
what do you mean by sloppy??

Make sure to take your pump off before you buy a new one. Some have backing plates on the pumps and some dont. But ya, bad water pump. Good thing you caught it before the fan hit the radiator.
