Confirm that the leak is not from the pump.. With the engine cold and off, clean all surfaces which are wet. Make sure the top of the engine is not wet as well. Start engine and look for where the leak is using a flashlight. Be careful of moving parts. Water pumps have weep holes that leak when the pump bearing is faulty, small holes on the top/bottom of the pump. Also look for leaks from the hose connected to the pump.

All vehicles are equipped with a PCV (positive crankcase ventilation) valve that is located on top of a valve cover and connected to the intake manifold with a rubber hose. When the engine is running, there is some pressure from the combustion chambers that gets past the piston rings and into the crankcase. This is known as blowby. The PCV valve allows this pressure to be relieved and vented into the intake manifold. A thin film of oil will form in the intake manifold since the hot gases from the crankcase contain an oil vapor that cools and condenses once it is in the cooler air of the manifold.

have the output of the alternator checked as the surge is from the alternator regulator . Check condition and tension of the drive belt

A misfire feels like the engine is studdering, is that what it does? If it is a misfire you will also have a blinking check engine light when it occurs.
