A bad water pump will leak out of its bearing's vent hole as it progresses theough the stages of death, which will run down the hose and drip off.... You'll be buying a water pump real soon.

It's leaking from this weep hole on the bottom of the water pump.

I'll check out the Water Pump. It will only leak when the Engine is hot. If you take it a couple blocks, it won't leak.

I'll take it apart today and check it out.

Thanks!

The Fluid isn't leaking from the Water Pump body, it's leaking from where the hose connects to the Radiator. Is that another sign of a Water Pump failure?

it might be leaking from the waterpump and just dripping down the side to the hose. but u should replace the lower hose anyways just to be safe.

I found the problem. The Hose from the Radiator to the Water Pump has a hole in it from the Air Compressor spinning when I was running the Air a few weeks back.

I heard some hissing, so I pulled over and saw the water shooting small amounts of water against the Air Compressor, which then leaks on the ground.
