Thanks for your advice in my radiator replacement last fall. All went well.

I've noticed a coolant leak around the water pump area. The green machine is running well, but I have a small puddle to deal with every day for the last few days and I've been through a bit of coolant.

I have the below photo. Please take a look and let me know what I should do next. I can take more photos if you need. My first and only car repair was the radiator repair, which went off without a hitch.

Thanks in advance for any advice.

Most likely the weep hole under the 'snout' of the water pump behind the pulley. It'* a sign your seal is going soon.

...Forgive my limited understanding.

What seal is about go? How do I go about repairing this problem.

I think Willwren is saying the water pump bearing and seal... which means you need to replace the water pump.

Yup! Water pump replacement time. I personally recommend a ACDelco "new" water pump. I just recently installed one, and it was the best looking water pump I have installed on a car.

EDIT! 3,000th POST!!!

Yes, I also suggest using the AC Delco waterpump. These cars will go tons of miles with good care, mine rolled 406K today.
