Leaking coolant

Need some help here, I am leaking coolant, pretty steady while engine is running. Can't find any hoses leaking, could this be my water pump? Or something else? Need some help here. Thanks

can you see where it is coming from? Or atleast a general location? Front of motor could be water pump, could be a heater hose from somewhere else or maybe HG? i dunno.

My leak is coming from about the same place as yours, but not going all over the engine. It is just leaking from the bottom like your second pic. Did your water pump need to be changed, and did it fix the problem?

yes it fixed my problem. I would look around the head gasket area and make sure there is no coolant around there.

I see we have about the same number of miles. Take your belt off and wiggle your water pump. It shouldnt have any play back and forth at all. Thats where mine was leaking coolant.

I took the opportunity to replace the hoses, flush the coolant, and replace the thermostat.

If you have any questions feel free to ask.
