Oil Drip from water pump hole???

[paulzrx]

Seems to be leaking/dripping oil out the little pee hole under the water pump or do I need to keep looking????

I'd clean the area all around it really well and reinspect.I've never heard of oil coming out of the water pump weep hole but dont see it as anything good if it is

oil comes out of that weep hole all the time as the pump begins to fail.

wipe it down, verify that it is indeed weeping out the check hole, and if so replace the water pump

Yep I posted in the thread Neggy found. Replaced mine at about 30,000 miles. The weep hole can leak coolant or oil. When its oil its leaking from the drive side.

Also when reinstalling the pump you will need to "finger" the impeller to get the slot in the drive to drop into the drive in the motor. The output pipe is prone to cracking at the bracket weld. Just use a bit of blue locktite and snug it up. If you crank on it you can crack it just from tweaking the bracket. Remember to bleed the system at the pump. I'm sure one of the boys has a pump laying around for you. If I remember correct a new one was pretty expensive. And that was 4 or 5 years ago.
