coolant leak...kinda

I've got coolant coming out of the weep hole on my water pump. Not a lot, just a little drizzle when I shut the engine off. I'm guessing this means a new water pump. Any other ideas, suggestions? Never changed a water pump before so this should be interesting.

Re: coolant leak...kinda

Are you sure its not coming from the intake manifold or thermostat housing and running down the front of the motor? Almost every single GM engine has intake sealing issues in one way, shape, or form. If you're sure its the water pump then it shouldn't be too difficult, just a belt and four bolts. Make sure you use some thread sealant on the bolts when you reinstall them.
