You're going to need a new water pump.

The bearings in the waterpump are sealed against coolant so as to prevent corrosion. When the seals wear and coolant contacts the bearings, failure will soon follow. The weep hole is designed to let you know when it begins to fail.

You're going to need a new water pump.

And, if you wait too long to fix it, you might kill the opti.

Considering you have a '94, your opti is non vented. You may want to change the pump ASAP or you will be adding a couple hundred $$ to the bill because you'll also need a new opti.
