Leaking Coolant coming from?

Hey guys, just bought a 2001 ws6 a couple months ago, 75,000 miles. This morning I noticed a puddle of coolant underneath my car (about a shot glass amount)...I noticed that it doesn't leak when the car is running, but just when I turn it off it begins to leak (1 drop every couple seconds for about 30 seconds). Any comments/suggestions are greatly appreciated! Thanks!

You sure it isn't condensation coming from the A/C condenser? I don't see any pics in either of your posts...

Looks like it's coming down from the water pump. Check to make sure it's not just coming from one of the hoses coming into it.

As stated, it appears to be your water pump. My car is doing the same thing, so I am pulling the water pump, and installing a new opti, plugs, wires and water pump in the near future.
