HI there,

If there is coolant leaking from the small drain hole at the bottom of the pump the seal is failing and the pump should be replaced, if in doubt have a mechanic look at this and they will be able to advise you on what they see and hear, its a bit hard with out actually seeing or hearing this problem first hand.
