Sunny day here in W.PA and went for a ride.  Stopped for gas, and water 
starts to come out from underneath the front of the engine.  Not coming 
out of the overflow.  Traces to an unseen point below the waterpump 
bearing housing.  

Put water in and headed home.  Stopped again to get a bottle of water 
(Mountian Spring Water - nothing but the best) and left the engine 
running, and no water leaks out !!!

Water comes out when the car is not running, doesn't come out when the 
car is running ?  

Once home opened the rad cap and lots of foam.  

Car's now sitting cooling down before getting to work.  Any suggestions 
beyond replaceing the gasket on the water pump bearing housing ?
