water leak inside right front tire?

My 96 has a small leak just inside of the rt frt tire. Is this common? Drips a little when I park, doesn't seem to lose much coolant. What do you think?

If its a 4th gen its most likely your water pump going bad.

Thats what mine used to do as well, as soon as the car warms up it stops leaking. It was a bad water pump... and not a fun job to do.

Its a weep hole the water pump has and it leaks out coolant when its going bad. I dont know how much you can drive with it like that, I drove probably about a year that way.
