92GXE with antifreeze leak

Hello all,

I searched Google and found this site and am completely impressed. I have a 1992 gxe, not sure if its DOHC or SOHC (I am not completely car saavy) but I noticed that antifreeze leaks near my oil drain plug on the bottom of my car. Could it be the water pump or maybe just a hose? I was wondering if anyone knows right off what it could be. I have looked under the car but have been unsuccessful in locating the origin of the leak. Any help or direction would be greatly appreciated.

All GXEs = SOHC. It could very well be the water pump, I assume the drain plug is on the side of the engine with the accessory belts, correct?

Do you have white smoke coming from your hood when you're driving? If you do then it could be a leaking hose that is on the passenger side near where that black ECS box is.
