Is it normal for a new water pump to leak?

Every mechanically driven water pump has a weep hole that might leak a little in the beginning.

This causes oil velocity to decrease, reducing turbulence inside the reservoir. Water leaking into the system will cause the oil to have a milky appearance while the system is running, but the oil will usually clear up a short time after the system is shut down as water settles to the bottom of the reservoir.
