I thought my water pump was leaking but it turned out to be the bypass hose that goes from the water pump to thermostat housing. My water pump needed to be changed out anyway but I didn't notice the hose was split until I thought my new pump was leaking.
I'm sure its been noted before but just wanted to give you all a heads up. Since the split was facing away from me, I didn't see it until completely removing it.
