Coolant leak behind crankshaft pulley

[InspectahDEck]

I have (another) coolant leak I'm tackling. After rinsing the underside from all the coolant sprayed everywhere, I tracked down the leak from the area in the image attached. Everything above that point is dry. Is this leak a symptom of a cracked head or possibly an intake manifold gasket? Any assistance is greatly appreciated

It's probably the weep hole or front seal on the water pump.

Agree with @89Suburban

The intake is dry; no coolant passes through the intake.

I once had a leaking water pump that gave me a hard time. I replaced the gaskets where it bolts to the block, and the leak got worse. I was finally able to use an inspection mirror to see it was leaking right under the pulley of the pump. I had reinstalled the pump twice by then.

thats the water pump for sure. they leak out the weep hole. you can find it with a mirror. bottom/backside of the pump.

Solution then to just buy a new pump?
