RE: [DML] Coolant leak.

["Gus Schlachter" <gus@xxxx>]

The weep hole of the water pump is on the bottom of the shaft, directly
behind the pulley. I needed a small mirror to locate mine.

AFAIK, there should only be fluid seeping from the weep hole if the water
pump shaft seal has failed, as was the case with mine. My coolant was
leaking down low to where the timing marks are, not anywhere up top. You
might just have a badly-clamped hose, although getting to it to fix it could
be quite a bit of effort. Good luck,
