I can think of a couple of leak sources. The weep hole in the water pump could be the problem if it is the original waterpump. The leak might also be on one of the freeze plugs on the side of the block, very difficult to see if there is a manifold in the way. If the leak is very slight, I have seen small amounts evaporate away on a hot engine. If you have droplets on the floor, you need to trace them to the point of origination. This may require cleaning the engine down of grease and grime so that you can see a wet spot. Built up grease and grime can soak up a small leak making it hard to find. Also, the leak could be as simple as a heater hose or clamp. You can squeeze them when cool enough and look for seepage. Hope this helps. Good Luck. -Vinnie
