its a lil weep hole, basically its tellin u in a nice way that ur waterpump is done for. Easy fix, just replace the waterpump and ur set.

btw, whats the point of postin that pic at the bottom of the post?

Indeed, replace the pump before it gets worse. It's not as hard as it sounds, pull out the fan, pull out the pump, slap some RTV on the new pump, slap it in, and yer done. You may need to remove the intake pipe and fan shroud, but meh :P
