leaky water pump???

Recently I added some radiator fluid because I noticed it was low. I had to replace around 3 qts. . When I did this I noticed Fluid coming from somewhere around my water pump,(don't know exactly where do to it being so hard to really see the whole pump).So I monitored this for the last two days and as it got 3 qts. low again it stopped. Is this a bad pump or what? and why did it stop leaking when it ran low again?

The water pump has a weep hole that will leak to let you know that it is time to replace the pump.

yeah, i just replaced mine too, actually not that big of deal, air box, fan shoud, fan, and water pump, 4 bolts holdin it in. almost an easy fix, and the water pump being $47 from autozone was not too bad either!

Yah I know about the weeping hole but do you have any idea why it stops after becoming klow again? Thanks for the help

Lack of pressure. Mine started doing that when it was time 2 replace it. I got my water pump with a gasket for 25 bucks at Advance auto parts. took me about 30 minutes do replace. Make sure you have a drain pan and a couple gallons of coolant your gonna loose all your coolant. Infact I drained my radiator before i took of the water pump that will save you alot of drain time. good luck
