water leak?

well today i got some bad news. on the way to work, i was riding smoothly, happy cuz i just washed/cleand up the CAR. so when i get to work, walk in i hear some water(coolant), and I look back and i see some water leakin not too bad but pretty bad. SO i look under its comin from the front side of the OIL Pan, but i cant seee where its leakin from the top. DO YEA"LL THINK ITS THE WATER PUMP???
or has anyone had the same problem, i also noticd it leaks when the car is off. not while its runing.

Is it water or coolant?

If it's water, you say you just washed the car...

check the coolant container for cracks then check your radiator. then if its neither of those check the water pump or tubes going to and from all of the above.

It it's coming from around the timing chain cover, I would think it's the water pump. Usually it does not just pour out like that though...
