I don't want to be an old stick in the mud, but on my 2001 Blazer I had a similar problem. Thought it was the water pump or a freeze plug. Got under the car and I was sure it was the freeze plug above the motor mount on the passenger side. I am not a mechanic but I did block up the engine and removed the motor mount, freeze plug was OK. Rented a pressure tester. Pumped it up and got under and water is coming from same location as I saw before pressure test.

As I said, I am not a mechanic so I took the Blazer to a mechanic. $500+ later it was an intake manifold gasket. I could not see it from the top or the bottom. Clay
