Re: [DML] Coolant leak.

["DMC Joe" <dmcjoe@xxxx>]

The weep hole is located at the bottom of the pulley shaft behind the
pulley. If the pump is relatively new it should not be leaking. If the leak
is coming from behind the pump you will have to replace both rear hoses.
This is the reason that we suggest that the rear hoses be changed at the
same time as the water pump.

As you mentioned, a cooling system pressure test will reveal the exact
source of the leak.
