Probably coming out the weep hole in the pump. Time for a change. It is by far the easiest water pump ever. No gasket, just o-ring. It'll take longer to take the belt on and off then it will to swap the pump. Check the tensioner while you're in there-it could be the cause of the squeak...

Only tip is to make sure the old o-ring comes off.
Sometimes they stick to the block and look like metal.
Two o-rings and they leak.

As stated above, probably the easiest water pump to change. I was happy that it was a quick repair.
