I have just started seeing a substantial amount of antifreeze leaking from under the timing belt cover between the crankcase pulley flywheel and oil pan. There is a gap in the plastic cover but I know that it is probably a gasket or something related to the water pump. Any help would be Greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Pull the timing cover and check to see where the leak is occurring. If it's coming out the "weep hole" in the water pump, then your water pump is taking a dump and it needs to be replaced. It's either that or the gasket sealing the water pump to the front case.
 
Yeah you will need to pull the lower timing belt cover off to actually see what is going on over there. Most likely it is your water pump seeing that i just had this same situation about a month ago... only difference was mine would leak and make little puddles on the ground. If it is your pump, you might as well replace the belt too while youre at it since its coming off anyways.
