97 weird coolant leak

OK so on my 97 every great once in awhile I will look down & see a drop of coolant on the corner of the oil pan & you can tell it came from near the account compressor.I have checked the water pump &all hoses.I think there is a o ring on the mounting block between the compredoor & engine is this correct?

Are you sure it's not coming from the weep hole on the bottom of the water pump?

A/C compressor is what my ADD is thinking.

Look at the front corner of the head/block union under the therm housing. That is where my head gasket is leaking....

I think& am hoping it's the wp I noticed the other day as soon as I started it there was cool isn't under the account Comp.I looked @ the water pump on the side pointing to the da & it is wet directly underneath it.It only happens after you start it besides that stays dry.
