Sure is that's the bypass hole for when the impella seal leaks it stops the coolant from going through your water pump bearings.

Could be the o-ring on the end of the pipe, that goes into the back of the water pump.

yeah i could see coolant pooling up a little, but not enough to drip. The block directly behind the pump was wet.
It seems like giving the car some love made it upset. Nearly everytime i do a coolant flush on a falcon, it decides to start leaking |
