That leak is from the sensor. With an o-ring instead of sealant it will stop it from leaking very easily. It's a small o-ring. Has to be buna-n or viton for the heat.

Water Pump Coolant Sensor leaking
Yes. Nothing has to be removed to see the weep hole. It is a hole about the size of a pencil. It is on the front of the engine block. It is kind of behind and to the left of the water pump. It does...
