Joe,

Water from the weep hole indicates a seal failure in the water pump.  New WP
time...

I'm not sure which brand of pump you purchased, but I can tell you from our
experiences here in the shop that the Laso brand pumps (German made) are
crap.  My sales rep at one of the largest parts importers in the USA
confirmed this fact.  Needless to say, we no longer sell or install the Laso
brand pump.

Cheers,

Jeff
