While replacing the heater valve on my '70 TR6 this evening, the water pump 
sprung a leak. After jacking up the front end, I tried to figure out where it 
was leaking. What I found was the coolant was coming out of the passanger side 
of the body, out of the hole that I assume is used for a grease nipple. I have 
no recollection if there was a fitting in there or not, but I wanted to ask the 
list if somehow the fitting worked its way out, would the coolant come out of 
this hole or is there something else going on with my pump, letting me know it 
may be time to replace it? Coolant is circulating since my test of the new 
heater valve produced heat in the car, and weeped a bit through the threading, 
which I'll take care of once I get this other issue resolved.  TIA
