1993 Accord leaking coolant from block
1993 Honda Accord LX
Leaking water from hole on the back of the block on the drivers side. I thought it was the heater hose but when I raised the car I saw water coming out of the small hole. The hole looks like a small screw hole but is not threaded. Anyone know what this hole is intended for and can I just put a screw in it as a band-aid?
Anyone seen this before or have any suggestions?
I took a picture to help explain the location.

Kinda asking for trouble, but it might take a little while before something happens. There's 2 bearings (with 2 seals) for the waterpump. That hole is from the space between the 2 bearings. Leaking out that hole means the 1st bearing is already wet with antifreeze. It's gonna be corroding, and at some point the waterpump bearing will either get loose or seize.
If it gets loose it makes a rattling noise as the impeller hits against the pump casing (part of the cylinder block). If it seizes, it can throw off your timing belt (worse yet).
