Alternator Install Shocking Discovery

[Terminator2]

Here in the Sierra Foothills of California, we had a nice sunny day today.

Doing some maintenance after New Alternator Install today. I've never even heard of what I'm about to share.

I decide to check drain hole flow in galley in front of alternator. No flow. What? Pour some water, no flow. Hmmmm.....Decide to pull water pump cover. What is this?
Some other findings too. Anyone have input? thank you, Rick

You have had mice living in there by the look of it.

Looking at your pictures you also have that plug leaking in your last picture, pull it out and seal the threads. I hope you are replacing all hose and O-rings while you are in there as you also have had coolant leaking over the years.
