My coolant is leaking near the alternator bracket. I just replace the thermostat and will probably also go ahead and replace the water pump. My car is leaking coolant next to the alternator bracket which is not at the same location as the water pump so I'm not sure if replacing the water pump would fix the problem. I have seen some videos on youtube that show coolant leacking on 2004 impala in around the same area as my 2003 impala but when they remove the alternator and bracket theirs have somw water outlet/inlet (elbows). I thought my would be the exact same but when I remove my alternator/bracket there are not water outlet/inlet elbows. I see that the coolant is leaking near the same area from kind of like a slot near the motor but I do not see an actual hole (note that this slot seems to be on what would be part of the motor near the belt tentioner (to the left of it)
