most likely, there is a seal in the water pump, and as this seal degrades water begins to pass through. there is a built "weep hole" that this water excapes through, like a early warning sign.Not too terribly expensivepart and weekends worth of work to fix. dont forget the new coolant and pump gasket.

Hey. This is a terrific excuse to switch to an electric Meziere water pump. It's a proven 17 RWHP upgrade so think about it!
