SA coolant leak (seep)

I have a very small coolant leak that I have traced along the top of the engine to what looks like the back side of the water pump. I can't see where it's coming from but the front of the pump (belt side) is dry as a bone. Any ideas as to where the leak could be coming from?

The weep hole on the pump. It is there to let you know the bearing seal is failing. Replace the pump.
