I have a coolant leak. When the vehicle cools down coolant will drip from the oil pan. It is trickling down from somewhere. The hoses are ok. I did a pressure test at 17PSI and it took 20 minutes to drop 2PSI. Would a bad water pump on this engine cause coolant to flow toward the bottom of the oil pan.

Hello,

It sounds like you have a water pump that has gone out here is a guide to help walk you through the steps while instruction and diagrams to help you on your car are below. You will need to remove the timing belt which I would replace while you are in there.
