Most likely. I believe all it takes is a wrench to tighten it up.

Get under there with a good light and inspect the drain hole on the water pump. If the pump seal goes, coolant will run from that port. The other places to look are the thermostat housing (above the alternator and next to the block), and the oil cooler cover (which is also the mount for the oil filter).
