[C320-list] weep hole on the Yanmar

I have the Yanmar 3GM30F (European model). My raw water pump recently
started leaking. Upon inspection I found two of the thumb screws for the
SpeedSeal in the engine pan. After reattaching those, snugging up all of
the thumb screws, and tightening the hose clamps the leak is much less
but there is still a minor drip with the engine running. The drips come
from the lower (outlet side) hose clamp but I think the water is coming
out elsewhere and running to that low point. I could not identify a
specific source. I looked for a weep hole but can't find one. I suspect
that is the issue, however. Could also be a worn out o-ring on the
SpeedSeal, I suppose.
So, can anyone tell me where to find the weep hole on this pump? And
what is a good source for a replacement if I need one? I can probably
source one at Bayshore Marine in Annapolis, which is local to me. But
they will charge top dollar.--
