Where exactly is this "weep hole"? Maybe some one has a pic of the location?

I couldn't get my pics to cooperate. On these pumps, on the under side of the pump, there is a small hole in the casting that is on the pump neck just below the where the pulley mounts to the pump. That is the weep hole. Most water pumps will leak from this location prior to failing.

As I said earlier, I literally only saw one drop fall. If you inspect your pump you will have to remove the pulley to see it. If it leaking you should see a whiteish chalkish buildup around that hole.

Hope this helps, changing the pump helped mine.
