Maybe I'm mis-remembering. Only thing I can find so far in the manual says
"The water pumps have a sealed bearing integral with the water pump shaft. The bearing requires no lubrication. A bleed hole in the water pump housing allows water that may leak past the seal to be thrown out by the slinger. This is not a lubrication hole."
They don't want anyone to oil it or stuff grease in it obviously.
I can see where a few drops leakage is no big deal, but when that happens it's likely time to start looking for a new one I'd think. Can't remember ever seeing any coolant from the weep hole.
