Coolant leaking from the "weep" hole indicates that the seals are out on the water pump. That's actually what the hole is for, to monitor the condition of the water pump seals. Pretty simple fix with the factory repair manual. Replace the impeller shaft and bearings along with the seals while your in there. Good luck!

There are two seals on the impeller pump. Replace the seals an the leak is stopped. Put in a new cover gasket as well.

SOURCE: 2003 crf 450 leaking coolant from hole from the bottom of the case under the water pump. What does this indicate?

It means your water pump seal is seeping at this point. Eminent failureportended. Replace water pump. Seals on pumps usually fail because of bearing wear, so this is a precursor to pump shaft failure. Good luck

SOURCE: 2001 Honda CR 125 motorcycle is leaking coolant

The hole that your coolant is leaking from is a vent hole. Its purpose is mainly to give the airspace behind the water pump a place to expand into the atmosphere, and a place for the coolant to escape when the water pump seal goes bad. Every vehicle I can think of, if it has a water pump, its got a vent hole. So, what you are faced with is replacing the water pump with a new one (seals and individual parts are not available for the water pump on your Honda).

I am losing about 1/2 pint coolant every 1000 miles. the vehicle does not ovrheat at all.

check sump oil color
If grey that is coolant into the sump , probably from behind the water pump impeller
because water loss is not evident the fact that there is loss means that there is a leak some where
There is a drain hole under the water pump housing and if the seal is gone the water will leak out there under pressure and when operating and the coolant is lost in the air stream
Take it to an accredited radiator shop and have the system pressure tested

Dodge nitro 3.7 .its leaking antifreez near the water pomp i replace the gasket but still leaking it the termoste house its good .when i turn on the car it dosent leak till about 2 min.

The water pumps have a small hole in or near the bottom. When the engine is cold, it will seal the hole but when it warms up, it will expand the seal and leak. You should be able to see coolant coming out from under the vehicle or using a mirror. If there is coolant coming out, replace the pump. Changing the gasket is not going to help if the internal seal in the pump is bad. Hope this helps.

2 5 engine diagram

check for the leak at the hose housing on the block as they are prone to corrosion under the hose and developing holes. Do the checking while the radiator is under a pressure test then the leak can be easily seen with out the need to have the engine running or be hot.. Check the drain hole under the water pump as the pump seal may be leaking.

I have a 2001 VW Beetle. I started the car and the engine light was blinking and coolant container was empty, added coolant and the next evening the light came on again. I noticed a leak on the front...

look for a leak from the drain hole under the pump housing, if no leak not a water pump
take the car to a radiator specialist shop and have a coolant pressure test done to determine where the leak is
if it has plastic tanks for the radiator , they split with time and leak under pressure and a pressure test will reveal exactly where the leak is unlike a guess

99 volkswagon leaking antifreeze at housing site

If by housing you mean water pump, that is an indication the water pump is worn and needs replacement. Water pumps are built in such a way that when the bearings become worn, coolant will leak from a weep hole built into the pump as a indicator that the water pump is failing, but gives you a chance to drive it to a repair shop before complete failure. Keep an eye on the coolant level until water pump is replaced. Do not delay this repair... Best of luck resolving this problem.

Heat not working properly seen anti-freeze leaking from what looks like water pump on the under carriage of vehicle

My best guess would be that you have a bad water pump. When thhey go bad, they will often leak antifreeze from weep holes in the housing. Since your car's heater is nothing more than a small radiator that relies on hot coolant being circulated through it, a bad water pump would explain your lack of heat. Conversely, it may just be a leak. If your system has lost enough coolant, your heating system will suffer the same.

Leaking coolant from a small hole located in the block right under the thermostat housing coolant inlet. we removed housing and gasket replaced gasket and installed, leaks from small hole?

water pump failure, water pump on these run off the timing chain and the timing chain runs in oil, so they could not just put a weep hole on the pump because it would go strait to the oil pan, instead they redirected the coolant from the leaking pump to just below the thermostat housing. And good luck, it's at least a 6 hour job on these. Brandon-MO

Round machined hole in water pump housing leaking coolant

The hole is there to let you know the antifreeze seal in the pump is leaking. You need a new (or rebuilt ) pump installed immediately. Please change the belt and any tensioners while you are at it...
