My riding buddy just picked up a 1986 Honda 250R quad and it is leaking coolant from what looks like a small drain hole underneath the water pump housing. Is this hole a "wear indicator" similar to those found under the water pumps on cars and trucks? If so, what all needs to be replaced, i.e. impeller, shaft, seal, o-ring??? Is it easy to do? What's the average costs? Also, did the '86 have an over-flow resevoir for the coolant, because we couldn't find one? Thanks for any help guys.

I believe its a weep hole. The seal for the pump is 30-40 bucks and it's not that hard to change. The 86's have an overflow bottle mounted on the left rear.
