Re: Water pump leaking

Yes. Its called a weep hole and will leak fluid when the bearing seal wears out.

Okay, so this would be my second one that is leaking through this hole. Time to just buy a new one.

If it's the same car I'd check and see if it is still under a warrantee. Depending on were you bought it (IE the pump) some places give lifetime warrantees on them.
