Drove my Charger and was getting a antifreeze smell inside, not bad but it was noticeable.
Got home and noticed the top radiator hose was hot as normal but the bottom hose was only warm.
Also left side of radiator was hot and right side was only warm
Is this a sign of a bad water pump?

If it smells inside,I would look at the heater hoses/heater core area.
One side being hotter than the other could be plugged cores inside.
Are the in/outlets on the rad on the same side?

The in/out are on opposite sides.

Well this is the original 43 year old water pump so its time to replace it anyway along with the thermostat.
Right now I'm going to check for leaky heater core/hoses
