Water pump weep hole
So I saw antifreeze on the floor, just like 2 drops and I jacked the car up and looked from underneath. Left of the oil pan a little higher I saw a little hole and coolant coming from that hole. The coolant just runs down to the oil pan where it falls to the ground. Can I keep driving like this? Can I wait like 1 month till I have the money for a repair?

ya you can keep driving on it, JUST WATCH THE TEMP!!!
Just make sure you top off the radiator everyday, and keep checking it. Its more then likely a water pump gasket, but replace the whole water pump unit.

Re: Water pump weep hole
I only drive about 10 min to work and back and that's it. I guess I can check it every morning (:. Btw I overfilled the system a bit and there's a bit of pressure on the hoses when cool do you think that can force coolant out of the weep hole if it's overfilled?

Re: Water pump weep hole
You cant over fill a system lol, it has a "overfill tank". I take the cap off, rev my engine by hand while topping off with the garden hose. When you rev it sucks down the water and works out any air bubbles. Before i let go of the throttle cable I re-tighten the cap, let go, then the surge should send the smallest amount into the overfill tank.
Thats good it has some pressure when cold, that means you have a sealed system.
