yah i had the same problem like 2 years ago and its the water pump. if you look closely you can see its coming out of a small hole on the block. 95% sure its the water pump if its com,ing from the timing belt area ( but on the back side)

Water pump! When they're on their last breath they start peeing out the weep hole.

Its always Coolant that comes out of the weep hole right? (green coolant, or pink/other colours now) Not just clear water by some magical means? I see water periodically under that general area, but havn't figured if it could be only dripping from a wet underside or whatever.

unfortunately $350 to change the water pump is not an unreasonable price when taking it to a shop.
