First I noticed the antifreeze level was going down.  Next I noticed a pink (Dried Toyota Coolant) stain on the engine on the driver side near the timing belt cover.  I pulled the timing belt cover back and the source of the leak was the water pump weep-hole.  I was told that Toyota is aware of the problem, and that the replacement water pump was redesigned to prevent this problem.  <p>
