It is leaking from the front passenger side maybe a half an arms length in, anyways if it is the waterpump do I need to replace the whole timing belt again if take Timing belt and other componets were replaced then.

Im not sure, Im not totally sure it is the water pump. I know the water pump is in the front of the engine. I also looked and it looks like its seeping threw a gasket by the oil pan? Maybe its leaking from the transmission.

Pin point exactly where its leaking and then comeback-if its coolant that's leaking could be the freeze plug other than the water pump
