Hi:
Have you tried to pressurize the system and locate it that way? also, they make a dye that you can use. It wil glow under a black light so you can see where the leak is coming from.

As far as under the water pump, there really isn't anything there unless the rad hose is leaking.

Let me know ifthe suggestions help.
