Just replaced my radiator in my 97 chevy 1500 pickup and now I have a leak dripping down behind the belt? What should I do?

Make sure none of the hoses are leaking (heater hose or upper radiator hose). If they are not leaking, chances are the water pump is leaking. There is a small weep hole under the waterpump that coolant will leak from if the seal or bearing is bad. Check that for evidence of a leak.
