no!!!!! stop and have the head gasket replaced that is most common reason for coolant leak into oil pan.

After 35 years of owning my own auto repair shop my experience has been that the most common reason for antifreeze in the oil is a bad intake manifold gasket....Bad head gaskets commonly cause overheating or antifreeze getting into a cylinder and causing a rough running engine and white smoke coming out of the tailpipe.

I have had my water pump replaced on my 1999 Buick Century. Why would it be making a bubbling noise and leaking coolant?
You need to have a cooling system pressure test to determine as to where it is leaking now. Repair the leak and it should be okay.

Holden commodore 5.0l leaking anitfreeze from back of the water pump but closer look found leaking from timimg cover what could that possibly be hopefully not major?
Could be trickling down from thermostat housing or hea gasket could be shot and the timing cover gasket may be blown out enough for coolant to come out but not oil, check the viscosity of the oil and make sure it doesnt have any coolant in it, if it does do the head gaskets, if not check that the thermostat housing gasket is good, if all that checks out to be okay try to find the little eye on the water pump to see if that's leaking and if that is do the water pump. Check the water pump gasket while your at it too.

How could antifreeze be leaking out the bell housing for the transmission?
You have a blown head gasket. Fix it quick. answer blown head gasket might be the right call, but i would do some additional checks to be certain. for example, is there coolant in your oil? check the dip stick to see if the color of the oil is okay or does it look like creamy coffee? a blown head gasket usually leads to water in the oil. during a recent oil change i noticed coolant dripping off my oil pan. after a quick pressure test of the cooling system it was determined that the leak was actually coming from the waterpump. point is, while it could very well be a head gasket, it could also be something much simpler as well. NEW ANSWER: There are 2 freeze plugs in the back of the engine block where the fly-wheel is, They are probley leaking coolant if coolant is coming out of the bell housing. NEUTZ.
