Default Water pump weep hole.

Does anyone know where the water pump weep hole is? Is this critical to check?

Thanks in advance!

Mike.

Drew, I'm pretty sure it's in the manual for the 04.5 says to check the weep hole for obstructions every other oil change, IIRC.

To be fair, I don't know about 3rd gens, the common rail engines could have a different water pump.
