Coolant leaking out of bleeder hole

I'm not a mechanic, but I stayed at a Holiday Inn Express last week ...

Seriously though, I have never worked on the water pump, but difficult seals can usually be removed with a dental pick. Some people screw a small screw into the seal, then use pliers to pull it out. Others carefully drill through the seal and use the hole to fish it out. The risk is damaging the metal behind the seal.

I realize I'm commenting after you already finished the job. Please let us know how you removed the seal and how difficult it was.
