On engine I can't see anything, only a small accumulation of water, maybe water to drain or leak beside base pump water or block??
I put other picture.
When the mustang is cold and off, I put water in radiator and begin to drip...

Thanks

its hard to see whether its the pump or timing cover. also that hose from the pump to the heater lines looks a little worse for the wear

Thank you very much.

Why not to apper my record? (mustang 1981 conv. 1987, EFI, MAP, 5 vel.+rev.) pump water have less 1 year.

Thanks.

Update...
When engine is off, I was filled radiator and water leak as show picture (a lot time), then, I turn on engine and after 10 minutes engine warm up normally, and leak was to disappear, WHY? , what hapeened?

Heat expansion, perhaps? I can see a gap between the pump and the timing cover where it's supposed to mate flush against it. Buy a pair of water pump mounting gaskets ($0.89 each, usually) and a tube of blue RTV silicone. Remove the pump, scrape off ALL of the old gasket/silicone material, and apply a thin layer of fresh silicone to both sides of the gaskets before bolting the pump back up. Allow the silicone to cure for a few hours before starting the motor up again.

Also, while you have the pump off, it would be a good time to replace that short L-shaped hose - usually about $8.
