small coolant leak showing

[downinit25i]

A short time ago I pulled the car out of the garage for a run and noticed a tiny stain under it, which I haven't really ever seen before. It kept up, real occasional like, so today I got out the degreaser and decided to try and track it down. Once I got all the grime off I could tell it was a coolant leak. It's showing up at the bottom of the timing cover. I can't see where it's coming from, but I don't see anything at the intake so I suspect the water pump is going. Anybody have a picture of the location of the weep hole so I know where I should be looking? I'm still learning as I go.

The pump hasn't been changed in at least a few years, and I can't for the life of me find any hoses showing a problem. Of course it's hard to see anything in that area what with all the junk around it.

Please help, the Texas heat will be here soon.

I don't have a picture, but the weep hole is at the very front of the pump casting. Since it's just above the harmonic balancer and almost blocked by the water pump pulley, it's difficult to see without getting a view from below at a good angle. Take the time to get positioned for a good look, as you could also have a coolant leak at a corner of the intake.

Tracked it down. It's the passenger side water pump gasket that's leaking. I will probably just replace the pump since it will have to come off anyway.
