Default puddle of coolant under car

So i come home from work today,(driving my truck) open the garage, and have a puddle of coolant under the camaro. Never leaked before. Only had the car a couple of months. had it out yesterday and took it for a good ride. anyways started it up and it had a steady drip coming down right by the pulley. i shut it off because i didnt want to get the opti wet. Im guessing water pump. I still need to look to make sure its not a hose or anything simple. i was planing on fixing the intake manifold oil leak this weekend. guess ill add this to the list!

Probably the water pump. They are a pretty easy fix but messy (about one of the only easy fixes on a 4th gen..lol).

+1 on the water pump. Try your best to keep that option dry.

Cover the opti in plastic bags and take your time.

Same thing happened to me last fall. It was actually the passenger side waterpump gasket.
