I have a Waukesha Ford 351 in my 74 Martinique and a small amount of antifreeze is leaking into the bulge. It seems to come from my water pump. Could freezing temps in my unheated garage freeze trapped water to cause my seals to leak or is it worse? I didn't run it when adding antifreeze this year.
Thanks any help is greatly appreciated.

I wouldn't get excited about it now if it is only a small amount, like a drip now and then but come spring you'll need a new cir pump because the seal is worn out in it causing the leak.

get a directional pump and not a bi-directional pump when you replace it come spring, I think skidim had the right pump at a good price when I did mine a couple of years ago.
