Best Answer

There is a small hole on the bottom of the pump called a weep hole. If you see coolant dripping from this hole, the pump is defective. But it can be defective and not leak. A nosey pump, or one that is simply not moving coolant as it should must be replaced. If you have over 100,000 miles on the vehicle just replace it, as it is due to fail soon.
