It's coming form the lowest point of Water Pump,where the lowest bolt is,the gasket is bad and I think it was seeping before as well.
New WP is ordered along the gaskets and a S-belt.
My mechanic said to replace just a gasket,but after thinking a bit I decided to get a new Pump with metal impellers,so I can just forget about this for a while.Thermostat can get changed later on without removing the WP,so I am trying to keep the cost as low as possible since I already paid like $2500 this month.It was for some front end suspension(both struts,control arms,tie rod) and Valley Pan related parts.Thankfully I had a CVV and all the Valve Cover gaskets and intake related gaskets bought before,I saw it coming.
