water drip
I flushed out my coolant yesterday and when I completed the job I now have a drip. It looks like it's coming from a plug located between the inlet and outlet hoses on my water pump. Any idea what this plug is for.

If it's coming out of the small hole on the bottom of the pump housing, under the shaft, the shaft seals are shot. Time to replace the pump. I wouldn't wait very long to do it either. If that isn't where it's coming from, post a picture of the leak.

Yep, sounds like the water pump.. mine just started seeping out of that hole when i replaced it
with the motor off.. LOL..
Grab the fan and see if there is any slight movement at all up or down / side to side.
if it's leaking or has any movement don't wait to replace it or your fan blade may go in to the radiator and cost you a lot more $$
