That hole is designed to drain any coolant which escapes past the pump seal.
If it wasnt there, any small amount of coolant which gets past the seal
would damage the pump bearing.

In the event a LOT of coolant is coming out of there, it's a sure indication
the water-pump seal has failed and a replacement water-pump is mandatory.

I heard from so many people saying that it's recommended to replace water
pump at the time to change timing belt.
My car reaches 160,000 miles and is due to a second timing belt change. Just
want to ask for your advice if water pump should be replaced?
Thank you very much.
