When I got home from work tonight I observed a strong smell of anti freeze when I got out the car... well I looked under it and seen antifreeze pouring from the engine bay. I popped the hood and it looked like it was coming from the water pump.

Spool would this be covered under warranty the car has around 50k miles....and what do I need to do??

call the dealer

Don't know if they changed the crappy plastic thermostat housing in the 2010-12 models, but that would be the typical culprit for my year.

Do water pumps still have the weep hole when they are about to fail or have failed?

sooooo.....the waterpump is covered and is going to be fixed under powertrain warranty. (yay)

So now I just gota figure out how to get to work tomorrow while my car is being fixed...

ford will give you a free rental when warranty work is being done, i think.

they have given me a free rental when work has been done for me under warranty every time ive asked.

They said the rental car wasnt covered....blah.

Depends on the warranty you have. When the trans in my brand new '12 Focus was being replaced because its a piece of crap, they did not give me a loaner as it wasnt in my lease agreement.
