Electric Water Pump
I installed an Electric water pump about two years ago. one of the seals on my timing cover has been leaking so when i was looking at that i noticed coolant coming from the weep hole in the water pump. Its been a while so i dont remember exactly how i installed the electric water pump.
does this mean the freeze plug or whatever i put in was installed incorrectly or do i need a new water pump and put the electric motor on it? im going to take the old water pump off tonight and take it apart to see what i find. but any advise in the meantime would be appreciated.

Well since you already have the electric water pump in there now it should be a lot quicker to fix the pump this time. If you don't want to put anther freeze plug in there I've heard of guy's JB welding a Quarter over the hole, I guess a Quarter is just about the right size and JB weld is great stuff to fix things like that. I'm sold on it, had great luck fixing many things with it!
