Ok so i recently noticed a tiny coolant leak on my SR20. It seems to be coming right about my water pump, but i'm not sure if it is , in fact, the water pump that has failed. I figured if the water pump was bad, it would leak from the bottom and not the top.

Either way, here's a pic. Wondering if any of you know where this leak is coming from.

I think there is a little hole in the top of the water pump and when the pump starts to go bad, coolant will seep out of it.
