Water pump leak? (electric water pump)

Hey guys, I havent drivin my camaro in 2 weeks since I was doing some rewiring and mockup for my intercooler and turbo.
I noticed today when I put my new TF intake elbow on that there was some coolent dripping. I moved the car back then started it and shut it off. Then there was another tiny puddle.
So i moved it forward and tried it again and nothing was leaking.

Would this be just the seals for the Weep Hole maybe? Since I have an electric pump I just need to buy a new water pump and gut the insides? and put her back on the car?

Its hard to tell where the leak is from but it was dripping off my lower accesory braket.

Jay

The weep hole won't leak after an electric water pump instlall, the freeze plug will block the hole. Maybe it is leaking where the pump mates to the housing.

Either that or you put the freeze plug in wrong.
