leaking coolant..please help

im leaking coolant from between my oil pan and air condion compressor on my '96. i cant see far enough up between them to see where the leak is from since theyre so close together. i first thought my water pump was going out, but i dont think it would be leaking from there if it was. any suggestions before i start tearing things apart? much help appreciated.

I had the same problem a while back and i had takin it to a radiator specialist because i had thought that it was my water pump. And it was... they replaced it and it stopped the leak. So you might want to consider taking it in or worse comes to worse do it yourself...but i have to wish you luck cuz thats the only job that i didnt even want the hassle of doin.

I didnt get that either. However, when they replaced the water pump it fixed the leak so i dont know. I kinda stopped trying to figure it out and just let it go. Goodluck bro

Its your water pump... when the water pump is starting to go bad it has a weep hole it lets coolant flow out of... enjoy cuz thats one hell of a job.
