coolant pump weeping v8

[Clarkey]

Coolant pump is weeping from the small hole on the right hand side above the inlet. Is this an easy fix or do I need a new pump?

New pump. That little hole gives you a heads up that the internal seal is on its way out.

If it is the hole in the pump itself a new pump is needed. The idea of this hole is for when the seal leaks, the coolant will run out the hole, instead of into the pump bearing.

Thanks Guys, bugga just did head gaskets, pump was fine before that.

Check your viscous fan coupling also, they also go and cause new fitted pumps to have short life spans.
