Antifreeze Leak Need help

Hello everyone, and thanx for all your help in advance.

The mighty max has a coolant leak and I can't figure out from where.
I have checked hoses and radiator but it's not coming from any of those places. The puddle on the floor is located by the oil pan which made me think it was oil at first but its not its antifreeze. I checked the connection into the engine on the passenger side and it looks dry. Is there a temp. sensor or something else that could be leaking coolant on the passenger side of the engine.

If you're in my situation I noticed antifreeze leaking around the same area and according to the Haynes manual it is antifreeze leaking from the "weep" hole.

water pump. i had the same leak. You will have to take it to a certified mechanic. Get the timing chain tensioner and guide checked while the pump is being replaced. I got my chain tensioner, guide, and water pump done for $500
