The coolant pump is somewhere close to and underneath the thermostat housing. Is that what is leaking? It may be the pump itself or a hose connected to the pump.

coolant leak
thank you, since I can't see the spot where it is leaking, should I be able to, by hand, feel whether its coming out of the pump or a hose?...

Can you get a good look at it from underneath if you remove the engine encapsulation panel?

I am going to try that this Saturday(my first chance in the daylight) and start getting to it...I thought about starting underneath for a better view, thanx for reinforcing my thoughts!
