Thanks for all the information & choices as to why I had a leak. I
got in there with an extension-mirror & a light. Yes, it is the weep
hole. I bought a new (not rebuilt) pump at BAP - lifetime warranty,
$55 7 popped it in there. Took half a day to do it. It is done. I
noticed my temperature is a bit cooler too! So I guess the pump has
been weak for a while.

Thanks again to all! This is the best list I have been on.
