no crack it is leaking kinda where the gasket goes on the water pump. Once I take it off I’ll be able to that like more clearly pics and I put sealant allll around in the back and followed it carefully but the place where it leak is not even close to those 2 spots . Is it possibly that the water pump is bad ?

maybe it’s leaking from the screw maybe there wasn’t enough sealant that’s why it’s coming from when I take it apart I can put more like oil seal ir thread seal and put the bolt back and see if that fixes it. Would that be a good idea ?

OIL&COOLANT MIXED TOGETHER IS NOT GOOD!

its not mixing that’s what’s weird I checked and it’s not mixing it’s coming from like under the water pump looks like from a bolt maybe but its the buttom bolt the one above the compressor . But do you think if it’s leaking from that bolt I can do that trick and should fix it ?

You: do whatever. Me: PULL THE COVER, CLEAN, & PROPERLY SEAL!

but pulling the cover will require taking off the oil pan again and all that

do those bolt holes go into the oil galleys of the block? if they do maybe just pull them and add sealant to the holes and bolts and re torque them.

I don’t think it’s the block becuase the ones that goes into the block is the ones that hold the timing cover and those don’t have a single leak it’s only the ones that hold the water pump which I believe it just goes into the oil galleys that’s what I probably gonna do if that’s the case
