Default water pump leak

Well I was changing my oil today and notice I have a very small coolant leak. From under my car it looks like it's coming from the bottom of the water pump but I could not really see where. Can anyone tell me where the weep hole is located on the water pump? Thanks!

right at the bottom of the pump centered probably where you are leaking from... sorry to hear mine did it too and i could have swore it was the gaskets but enough staring after you shut it down and you can see where the drop forms

Cheapest GM one I found is 195.00. I think I will get that and replace all my hoses as well.

Default happened to me

luckily for me there is a guy in mansfield texas that has all kinds of parts cheap
i got mine for $40 it took me like 1 hour to massacre it and reinstall
the gaskets are only like $10
might wanna look at your optispark while youre there, they seem to always crack and get wet right after the water pump butt hole goes out
so if your car starts running like crap, this is why

AC Delco $124.00 get new gaskets from your local dealer, I think they're like $16.00.
