Ahhh, I dont believe he has it fixed. He resealed the water pump and its still leaking.

I still believe his headgasket isnt sealing. I wanted to check his head and block with my straight edge before he put his new head gasket on but it was too late, he had it all together.

Now he thinks its his weep hole of the pump.

Water pumps have a little hole that'll drip coolant. It's normally a very small amount, no more than a drop each time you run the car. Don't ask me why, I just know it's there.

The only reason coolant would come out that hole it is the bearings in the pump are shot. Get a new pump and tune the dumb thing.
Is that all thats left to be done?

This is no longer true on new water pumps, they are designed to release pressure to save the seals.
