Default What part is leaking coolant?

I have a 95 EX Coupe I have been playing around with and when I bought it I was told the radiator had a leak but today I started the car up and noticed it wasn't leaking from the radiator, it was leaking from behind the engine below the alternator. It was leaking coolant I am sure of it I saw, smelled, and even tasted it. I wasn't able to identify where the leak was coming from exactly so what could be leaking coolant behind the motor near the alternator? Thanks in advance. Stock D16Z6 motor in it.

If coolant is dripping from the weep hole area of the lower timing belt cover, then the leak is almost definitely coming from the water pump. If so, also replace the timing belt and belt tensioner while the crank pulley is off.
