Where am I leaking from?

I have one final coolant leak that I'm trying to track down.

It's a pretty slow drip. The weird part is that it is on the drivers side of the car.'

it doesn't LOOK like it's coming from the water pump, but it could be.

It is dripping off the alternator onto the oil filter housing and then dripping off the oil filter, but I just can't see where it's coming from.


I did a head/timing job on this car four days ago, and at the time the water pump felt good, not sloppy.

Any ideas? It doesn't look like it's dripping from the water pipe. This is a 90 so there aren't any coolant lines on the drivers side that I know of.
 
I have this EXACT same leak right now, slowwwwww drip. Exact same spot. Every morning I wake up to a 4-5" diameter puddle, it does not look like it is coming from water pump however I am not certain.


I am replacing my alternator this weekend and I am going to inspect closer. Let me know if you find anything!
 
sounds like the water pump to me, its right above the alt. could be seaping out of the weap hole.

Ive also had a new head gasket leak on me, from a tiny little groove in the block(420a motor tho) had to tear it back down and coat the block/gasket/head with copper gasket spray to fix it. wasnt happy about that!

check the oil cooler coolant lines as well, Ive had them start leaking on a couple cars after reassembling them.
