I appear to have green liquid (coolant) very very very slowlt dripping from my engine. It appears to come from the part that joins the water pump to the engine block??? I am losing coolant very very slowly according to the tank. Could this be a water pump failure??? What the damage down the line?? I'm not getting any high temp alarms thankfully (yet)

i would change the water pump, it could just be the gasket but for the cost of the pump £30 ish its worth changing it.. becareful when i changed mine i snapped the heads of 2 bolts had to drilled and tap em. (it was the 2 on the right)

on some pumps there is a small hole next to the shaft. this is a indicator hole and if water comes out the seals and bearings are fooked
