Water pump weep hole

Is there a weep hole on the water pump for the Hurricane engine? I have a coolant leak. There is a drip right below the water pump. It is either the water pump weep hole (if there is one, I cannot feel a weep hole or any wetness where the typical weep hole might be) or at the fitting for my heater hose. Before I go tearing into things, if would be helpful to know if the water pump has a weep hole.

Thanks!

Well, I found out there is a weep hole in my A1 water pump. There was no wetness around the hole, so I figured the leak was at the heater hose connection. I replaced the heater hose and found it to be very stiff and cracked. It was 55 years old! Probably the original hose that came with the heater kit.
