You can also get oil dripping out around the shaft seal of the water pump. This could be because the bolts holding the pump to the block aren’t tight (that bottom one is hard to get to, and is the reason Moyer sells the “extendo” version of it), or the gasket isn’t good, or because the shaft seals need to be replaced.
A little seepage might not be a reason to curtail the season to fix. It depends on your mindset/climate.
