OK got it. Hoping it's a hose, when I squeezed the upper one yesterday it definitely felt a little bit brittle.

Should I be able to get a visual on the water pump after removing this belly pan in addition to the radiator and hoses?

I guess if it's none of those or the reservoir then it might be the valleypan gasket leaking?

If you have V8 and your valleypan gasket leaking it may get collected on that metal cover thing, but I'll start with the easier thing to take off (my rule in fixing car problem ).
