Anyone had this problem? Anyone know why this hole exists? Anyone know how to fix?
On a training day at the track, pulled into pit lane and water was peeing out of this hole, temp had been around 95C (203 F) as I slowed into pitlane temp went to around 105C (221F).

Its the weep hole for the water pump. If the seals start to leak the coolant will come out there.

Thanks Michael, I had a funny feeling that might be the case. Crikey they don't last long, only done 2000 race km (1242 miles) and its a hell of a leak.

So any one know if this seal can be changed without removing entire housing?
