Default Got a BAD Radiator Fluid leak, need help

I have NO idea where this leak is coming from. I recently had the top end rebuilt and I used all brand new gaskets and everything. I been driving it around just fine for the past few weeks but some buddies of mine pointed out that I had a leak of some sort when I left a meet last night.

So heres some pictures of what im seeing. When I took them, the car had been running for about 2 or 3 minutes. I did refill the radiator and the catch can before I started the car and the engine was cool. This is a B18c1 and the water drips were exactly where the pullys are, as you can see, theres a droplette on the pully itself after I turned the engine off.

It is behind the timing belt cover. Its a PITA when the motor is in the car. If you havent replaced your timing belt this would be a good time because it has to be removed to get to the water pump.

Look at the lower timing cover, near where the #18 bolts go. It's under that round part of the cover. You have to remove the timing belt to get the pump, so get a new timing belt while you're at it.


The round opening for the pump is in the upper-right part of the block in this picture.
