I found that the water pump gasket was leaking and simply tightened the bolts to slow it down. When I took the jeep in for oil change I had mentioned the gasket leak and mech said fluid was leaking from weep hole because pump was bad. I could not for the life of me find the weep hole, I have changed water pumps many times and know of weep holes, but before I buy new pump, I wanted to see the fluid leaking from weep hole that I cant find!

Yes, there is a weep hole. The waterpump will leak from there is the bearing or internal seal is bad.

LETS TRY AN INSPECTION MIRROR--OR MAMA'S "COMPACT" W/ A SMALL, STRONG FLASHLIGHT

SHOULD BE ON THE BOTTOM OF THE PUMP'S SNOUT
