Update - Shorts, a beautiful evening in AZ, the car is cool enough to work on it a tad. You are partially right, the two lower bolts that hold the water pump housing to the block were loose! one, I could turn with my fingers! What I also found is that the threaded sleeves are being used as spacers/stand offs - why I have no idea. They don't thread into the housing at all, they are allowing really long bolts to hold the housing against the block - strange. I tightend the bolts up, will have to see if that stops the leak. I will plan to remove those spacers and use new bolts when time allows, and check the condition of the waterpump.

Thanks Shortsguy for suggesting tightening them - would be nice if I had something simple for a change.
