Your pulley is wobbling cause the bearing in the pump is about to go bye-bye. It is also the cause of the leak (it is stretching the seal since the shaft is moving around). Dont try to go very far until you replace it.

  Subject: How much is too much (weeping water pump)


  So I finally replaced the rad on my 16v this past weekend, and after refilling all the components I'm hearing a whirring sound from the water pump area, and it's weeping fluid, so how much weep is too much?  About one drop every 7 seconds at Idle (obviously).  I know I've still air in the system will take a few days for it to work it's way out, so is this sound the pump dying, or impeller blades cavitating in air pockets (the sound is pretty regular but it is intermittant).  Also can I use a pump off a 8v motor (i've two in my garage). one other thing... the pully on the waterpump isn't precisely true it wobbles a tiny bit, could this wear something out inside the pump? bushings, bearings... Also any tips as to replacement? I seem to remember some folks talking about broken/seized bolts etc...
