Leaking water pump? 1KZ-TE (1 Viewer)

[Goforth]

Learning on my new to me JDM 1994 KZJ71. Found a puddle of antifreeze under the truck today after it sat overnight. I’m guessing it’s the water pump but Seeking internet 2nd opinion.
No seepage from hoses and it appears to be leaking from front of engine

Also if anyone has line of sight to a repair manual I can buy that would be amazing

thanks

You're on the money.. the water pump is the best candidate for a leak that appears like that.

Here's a link to the manual I have..

They can go for a while like this. Its most likely leaking from the weep hole letting you know the seal is worn.
When you replace it , you might want to do the timing belt and idler. There might be a cam shaft oil seal as well to do. Much the same set up as a 1HZ.
But I would wipe it off and do some more exploring before you start spending money.
