Possible waterpump leak 97' 850 over 200k miles

Gentleman, I replaced leaking plastic Rad overflow tank. Discovered another leak coming from underneath the camshaft area. I'm thinking water pump. I was told to check for a plug located in the back part of the motor as a possible culprit, looked OK. Also, the hose that goes from the rad to the ther...

Thank you MadeinJapan, I will check the plug when I get home from work. That might be the problem, I say that because the leak is heavy, its not seeping out, its like really leaking out. I was thinking if it was the water pump it would trickle out.

Thanks for that tip, I will try it. The only other thing I can think of that might be draining the Battery ( its a new battery) is the radio antenna. The antenna does not extend or collapse, but when I turn off the car I can hear the antenna motor run for about 45 seconds then it stops. Maybe this c...

Guys, Thanks again for the help, I replaced the plastic radiator reservoir tank with a new one then drained the radiator and added new coolant. Drove the car in stop and go traffic for an hour.
