Is a weep at Water pump shaft seal normal?

(2012 RSS Spyder SE5)


I have a coolant "seep" that sure looks like it's originating from the water pump weep hole, it wasn't much, but left a little puddle at the bottom pan. I pulled all the covers on RH side this weekend to be able to access that area better, I could just get a mirror in there to see the "weep" hole and it looked like it had been seeping at one point but was dry now. I checked the worm style clamp, just to be sure. My understanding is that this seal is a "ceramic type"? And is it normal for this type of seal to seep? There was no evidence under the vehicle that it was seeping, I just happened to shine a light through the RH panel near the radiator to see a little evidence at the back of the pan.

Is a slight seep normal, or should I look at getting this repaired?

Thanks.
