Today my 1992 Honda Accord started overheating. When I stopped to put coolant in the overflow are noticed it was going through coolant fast because I had just put coolant into a couple of days ago. When I got home I noticed it had a leak coming from the left side between radiator and tire somewhat underneath the beat area of the car. Let it sit for hours and started it up didn't leak and then after a couple minutes turned it off and then the leak stared again. Could it be the waterpump?

Sure it could be that but it could be something else as well. Pressure check for sure to find it.

A coolant leak on the left side just behind the radiator should be the water pump like you called. Here is a guide to help confirm the problem and how to change the water pump out in case you can confirm the leak origin.
