the hole tells you the pump is fine when there is no water coming out of it

when water comes out of it the bearings in the pump are fucked but the pump is still pumping

time to get a new one in a hurry before you need a new engine

Just found this same issue, after doing a search for the problem,

Fine 1 day then bad leak from the bottom hole in 4x4 water pump! Annoyingly mine is more awkward as its machines to suit the 10stud set up
