While performing an engine oil change I noticed that my machine is dripping coolant. It appears to be originating from a plug (weep hole?) on the water pump housing. I pulled the radiator cap; the level was a touch low, and I found some small rubber pieces on top of the veins/fins. The machine sees maybe 20 hours of runtime per year.
What is causing the leak? What are the little rubber chunks from? What is the solution (new water pump)? And, is it a problem if I put another hour of runtime on the machine before fixing?
If anyone has shop manuals or wisdom on how to perform the appropriate repair, I would appreciate any guidance.
