Default What is causing this coolant leak

These pics are taken from the passenger side of the engine bay , to the left of the picture is the passenger side valve cover. Is it the water pump where this coolant is leaking from? I know the pics are crap cuz they are from my cell phone, but any input would be appreciated. I would assume it is water pump or thermostat. I had a small coolant drip coming from the bell housing for a while I would hope it was from this leak , I thought it was from the freeze plug behind the trans

Help me out guys whats leaking

Timing cover......

Might just as well replace the water pump while you are doing it, as it has to come off anyway. Also, timing chain and gears are going to be exposed. It's one more bolt, and off they come. Put in some new ones while its easy.
