Stan welcome aboard. There are no dumb questions only unasked ones. sounds like a weep hole which is on the underside of the impeller assy which comes out by itself(4 bolts) & the wp housing doesn't need to be touched.

B/RB water pump very simple to change. Loosen alternator, remove belts, remove 4 fan bolts, remove 4 pump bolts, rap pump off housing, cleans housing surface, install new gasket and pump in reverse proceedure.
Clean it, if it's Dirty. Oil it, if it Squeaks.
But: Don't fix it, if it Works!

Drain it 1st. Replace with fresh coolant.

That would be the four bolts that hold the fan clutch to the pulley, not the four bolts that hold the fan to the clutch. And if you crack the bolts loose before you loosen the belt, the belt will help keep the pulley from turning.
