Yes, it is possible that the intake manifold gasket needs replaced.

Mine was doing the same thing and wound up beig the waer poum. Was not coming from the weep hole but rather from areound the gaskets where it seals to the block. Removed pump, put on ne one al is well. I know it was the gaskets aroundthe pump because once i removed it you could see where it was running down the motor. Hope this helps!
