Question Water Pump Failure?

For about the last 2 weeks I have noticed a small spot of coolant on the ground in the morning before start up. looked under bottom of engine at water pump area and looks like its coming from pump. Do 5.7 Hemis have a weap hole for coolant when water pump starts to fail?
Thanks!

I had a leak in my water pump. Seal went. Replaced under warrenty. When I researched it, it seemed to be a pretty comman thing.

Mines doing that now.. Went hunting and had the truck parked in the drive since Saturday night. Didn't start it or move it.. Saturday and Sunday nothing Monday morning nothing but it started to get cold out. And when I looked Monday night I had a fist sized puddle on the ground under it. Gotta be a seal.. When its warm or hot nothing but when it sits or gets cold it starts to drip. Does the entire pump need changed or just the back seal? Pump is only $85 bucks and doesn't look like much to change it. However theres 2 inches of snow out so I better dress warm..LOL
