weep hole

Jul 30, 2005 3 Replies

Basically it is a drain so moisture and condensation that may form can "weep" out of a cavity.

And if it's a water pump, it's the little hole drilled in the underside of the "snout" (and sometimes the top too), where the coolant leaks out if the pump's internal seal is bad. I think it's there to keep the leaking (but still pressurized) coolant from filling and killing the pump's front bearing.

One of the complication of hemorrhoids? ;)
