Sorry to chime in so late on this. If you go all the way back to the original picture (in post #6) doesn't that leak strike anyone else as NOT being from the water pump anyways???
To me it's more likely just one of the clamps that hold the bypass hose to the water pump/cylinder head. Or possibly the thermostat cover or o-ring?? If the waterpump leaks it doesn't end up on TOP of the waterpump dah!
I know this was pointed out once, put the picture in post #1 is NOT a drain hose, it is for the heater. Maybe everyone got distracted by thinking that this was a pic of the plastic drain tube that you sometimes see on a 103 water pump? It was added later on to some 103 engine water pumps, not sure what exactly it was added for, but the one HE is talking about is a heater pipe, and yeah the o-rings harden and crack on that pipe ALL the time.
