water leak behind timing belt tensioner

water is leaking at the square hole behind timing belt tensioner, it is a 99 ford zx2 w/ a dohc motor. I don't have a clue why water is coming out of that area ? Any help would be nice. Thanks ...John

Water leak - Jon

Probably water pump, check if your fan pushes in and out or if it wiggles around in the bearing, or if you have noticed the tensioner being wobbles before the leak occurred.
