I have a coolant leak. When the vehicle cools down coolant will drip from the oil pan. It is trickling down from somewhere. The hoses are ok. I did a pressure test at 17PSI and it took 20 minutes to drop 2PSI. Would a bad water pump on this engine cause coolant to flow toward the bottom of the oil pan.
