Default Coolant leaking... could it be water pump?

ok this only happens when my car is running and i am loosing coolant. I check it very often to be on the safe side. Ok, the problem is i get coolant leaking from the drivers side of the car. iv tried looking my *** off to see where its comming from i cant really tell.

Do water pumps leak before they go out?
Could it be the gasket?

yup... thats symptoms of it... then you'll start overheating after a while... change it out before it overheats and warp you head

I had this problem in my del sol, look at the bottom of the timing cover next to the oil pan that should be where the coolant is leaking from, change your water pump ASAP its not worth overheating

well thats how i noticed it, drive down the highway then started to get warm. i was able to keep temps down by slowing to about 55 with heater full blast... while its already about 97 outside...

any idea how long i have till its gone...

im trying to hold off for another week or two, so i can replace: oil pan gasket, timing belt, water pump, cv axles, and boots...
