Coolant Leak

[ToF]

A couple of days ago I drained and flushed my cooling system out and refilled with Castrol coolant. Problem is now it continuously leaks coolant from what appears to be a hole in the bottom of the water pump when the engine is running. I've included a pic so you guys can see what I mean.

So do you know what could be making it leak from there, because before this I never had any leaks at all!

Thanks guys.

Your water pump seal is gone, so it's water pump replacement time I'm afraid. Suggest doing the timing belt+bearings at the same time.

Damn, anyone know how much (just guessing) this job will cost...? For water pump install, timing belt and bearings?

And I can just get any old water pump from Repco or Bursons, etc??
