Leaking coolant from a square hole on the crank pulley?
My sc400 is leaking coolant, and its getting pretty bad, it started leaking it from this square hole on the crank pulley, I searched and found that it can leak from a weep hole on the water pump, but the water pump pulley is towards the top, and this is the very bottom pulley. it also used to come off the back of the oil pan. Fairly sure I need a new water pump, can anyone verify?

Exactly. Had the same issue.
The fact is the Water Pump is actually behind the engine cover, and that is why you wont be able to see the leak until it drips through that lower cover "square hole"
And get ready for one hell of a repair! Its an 8hour job to swap that bad boy out.
And if you are doing this yourself, i would strongly suggest you get a whole kit - crank seals, tensioners, timing belt, etc . . . since its all gotta get pulled and exposed to swap the pump.
