Default 93 Civic D16Z6: COOLANT LEAK

Hello friends, question regarding; 93 Civic Hatchback...

Car is leaking Coolant, from behind the Engine Block. It appears to be on the drivers side. I've tried my best to detect the source of the leak, but very difficult to see underneath the IM. Please help me if you can suggest which component is the likely culprit.
Notes;
- no signs of Oil contamination in the Radiator Resevior/ or Coolant in the Engine Oil (just changed oil).

- I could see a small amount of Coolant on the underside of the Water Pump, but it could be from another source.


I need to know which components might cause a leak on the rear of the Engine. I would greatly appreciate your advice or suggestions. Thanks for your help.

Well there's the heater hoses going into the firewall but thats not really near the drivers side. My guess would be the water pump.

There's a pipe across the back of the engine and also several little hoses to the manifold that contain water. A leaky water pump will drip out of the hole on the side of the pump near the alternator. You can see everything under the manifold a lot better if you raise the front of the car with ramps or jack stands and get underneath.
