I thought it was my water pump but its this.... how do i fix?
i switched out my water pump because it was making a really weird noise and leaking ALOT! so i switch it out and the leaking continues not as bad but dropplets still come out i come to fin that it comes out from two blocks... so here is a pic anybody mind explaining it me? thanks in advance for all the responses! oh its 2005 v6 mustang convertible 90,000 miles.
Hopefully its just some residual from the prior leak, hopefully. I hate to say this but it looks like a cracked head or gasket.

The pic isn't that clear but that location with out it running down from somewhere else would be head gasket, or worse as stated above. If compression is getting into the water jacket that could explain the water pump issue. Have a professional look at.
thanks guys im hoping its gasket. can this also be causing my cylinder misfires? it says i have a cylinder 2 misfire?
hahaha hoping its a gasket, I would be hoping its not one. Anyways with what you just said its most defiantly a cracked head or a blown head gasket.

Yep, you probably have coolant leaking into the combustion chamber causing the mis.
Changing head gaskets require tearing down the whole top of your motor. While the gaskets themselves are relatively cheap there is a lot of labor involved which makes it an expensive repair.

I know I duno why I said I hope lol... anyways so the two gaskets sets are gona run me bout 200 each from autozone... anywhere cheaper? Also everyone kept asking me if I have ever overheated the car and I say no they look at me like I'm a liar... so I remember when I 1st got it I had several overheating issues... could this problem come from a sleeping problem caused by the overheating about 2 years ago?
