You need to find the source...end of story
No one is going to be able to say "its here" just by you saying "I have a leak" and "Theres a puddle"

Look at where the center of the puddle is, see where its dripping. Follow the stream to the source.... Duh
Look at your coolant hoses from the radiator, at the head, behind the head @ block, near the water pump (under timing cover).
You need to investigate...

Sometimes it is a hose that is dry rotted so while you are looking actually move the hoses just a little and you may see it go spraying. Keep an eye on the weep-hole on the back of the engine. If it seems to be coming from that then look forward to replacing that water pump.
