2011 Hisun 700 Coolant Leak

[djl]

Hello All!  I heard a dripping noise after checking my drive belt for bearing noise (see other post).  I was able to determine that it was coming from a protrusion under the passenger side of the engine - see attached video.  Any idea what this is and what is likely required to repair it?  Thanks in advance!

Hi All.  I did a bit more research on this issue and the leak is coming from the 'weep hole' on the water pump.  Coolant will drip from weep hole when the coolant seal within the water pump begins to leak.  Oil will drip from the weep hole when the engine oil seal within the water pump begins to leak.  The purpose of the weep hole is to prevent coolant system pressure from forcing coolant past the oil seal and into the engine.  I have ordered a new water pump so suspect that will fix it.  Thanks!
