Default Coolant Leak

Just noticed an external coolant leak today. After looking around through the other threads, I'm thinking it could be the water pump, but cannot find the weeping hole on the pump so I'm not sure. Let me know what you guys think from the pictures. Its a 2005 5.7L Hemi, 87K

Water pump would be the most logical place to start.

First off, it’s a 3year old thread, so I doubt you’ll hear back.
Second, the OP only has 4 posts total and is probably long gone.
Third, people like that are a-holes, they pop up once, ask for help, get it, and never bother to finish the job by letting others know the resolution.
Your leak is most likely the water pump. I would suggest getting an OEM rather than an Auto Zone reman. They are a PITA to replace, and you don’t want to do it twice.
