Im leaking fluid and cant tell where it is coming from. But when you look at the engine from the front, theres coolant on the left inside fender as if its being thrown by my timing belt. There is also spots of coolant on my cooling fan. The leak is somewhere from where my thermostat and my fan rod is somewhere underneath that area. But I cant figure out where its at. Would this mean its my water pump? The leak is very heavy. When its leaking its directly in the middle of the engine and you see it draining down. Very heavy leaking.

put also check the radiator as it may be leaking and the fan throwing coolant around
does it leak more after you shut truck of if so
does leak it leak down the lower radiator hose if so its the water pump
