Water Pump Leak

Small drops blowing from bottom of water pump when engine is running. Lowest water pump bolt is wet with anti freeze and I have tightened it but it still blows small drops. Do you think it is a bad gasket or is the pump leaking? What happens when a pump goes bad, a shaft seal leaks, a bearing leaks? If I replace the gasket, should I also replace the pump as long as I am that far into repairs? Really don't want to replace parts that are ok. Thanks for your input.IMG_3006.jpg

On most water pumps there's a weep hole on bottom of pump when it starts leaking there time for new pump.

look at pump with a mirror or inspection scope. leaks from the weep hole are the most common and will leave a stain so it is obvious where it came from. time for a new pump, look around, $50 to $80 should buy one.
