Coolant Leak, Need Help

I have an odd problem. I have a small coolant leak on my max. whats odd is that it only happens when I first start the car in the morning when its cold, but it stops leaking when the car warms up. I tried getting under the car to see where its coming from and no luck, I pulled out the alternator, and ac pump. Its coming from somwhere between the ac pump and a bracket down there. Anyone Have this problem??? or any solutions?

I just got a new water pump installed a couple of weeks ago. My leak was from around the same area. I was under my car about to finish my header wrap to quiet my y-pipe down and I felt some fluid, when I looked at the color it was green . When I looked up from the front part of my oil pan I saw there was a slow trickle from the timing chain area. I went to get a pressure test at the dealer and they found that my radiator and heater hoses were leaking too, they also recommended the radiaotor hoses, they wanted $1750 for all this . I paid another dealer to do the pump. I will do the radiator($175 from Kragens and lifetime warranty), and hoses myself(all OEM from Courtesy Nissan for around $88 bucks). This way I will only be out about $850 dollars. I was going to tackle the pump myself but after hearing how hard it was to do I paid the stealer. Good luck with your problem.
