Coolant Leak and other ?'S

[oatburner99]

So I noticed some coolant in a small puddle probabley about the length
of a coke can laying on it's side, on my garage floor. I saw drips on the
the front sway bar, I wiped everything down that I could reach, and for 2
days no leak. Then this morning it's there again. Resivour (sp?) is full, overflow
is half full. I've read that 5.0 water pumps will let fluid out through the weep
holes. Is this true? I tried looking under the water pump, but the car just
has too much crap in the engine bay to see it. I didn't have a mirror either.

Anyway does this sound like a water pump gasket going? Or is the drainage through
the weep holes a normal thing? like I said the radiator is still topped off. So It's not
noticable.

Also I just put a Brothers performance H-pipe on, and I've been trying
to read about the smog delete, there are sooo many questions, but no how-to's.
Anyone local here in Central TX that has done it that could help me out? I know
your not going to gain power by taking it off, but I'd like to clean the engine
bay up. Thanks!

Yes they will pass water out the weep hole when the shaft seals goes out. You need a new water pump more than likely...
