Help With Coolant Leak

Hey guys can somebody help me out? New to this forum and to the cummins world in general had a DMax before lol....I have what I think is a coolant leak (orange yellowish fluid) passenger side seems to be dripping down onto the AC compressor I just noticed this yesterday at work. Can somebody help me out in trying to figure out what or where this could be coming from? Thanks in advance for any and all input. Would post a pic but not sure how to yet. Thanks again.

Check your water pump. It has a weep hole that is on the bottom side of it. If its seeping a bit, its on borrowed tim.

All you will need to a break-over bar to release the tension of the serpentine belt and a socket for the fan cover and of course the two bolts for the pump itself.
