You really need to find out where the leak is coming from. Is just small drips, or do you see a puddle under the car every time you turn the engine off?

If it is small drip from the driver side, it is possible to be a leaky hose. If you have a puddle, it is your water pump. At your mileage, if the water pump has never been replaced, it is very possible. Replace your timing belt, as well.
