Default Coolant Leak

I noticed the bottom of the hood has anti-freeze on it. Looks like the belt is slinging it up there. I can't find out where it is coming from.
Has anyone else had this problem?

It might be the water pump. I know some water pump have weep holes that will leak when they've gone bad. Don't know about the LS1, but that'd be my guess.

If thats the case. Sounds like a good time to upgrade to an EWP.

Well it looks like its the throttle body metal fittings. It is wet on top of the pump.
I will mess with it more this week. I can't see fluid anywhere else.

You need one of Ellis's coolant bypass lines.
