Best bet is to find the source of the leak, and work from there. At least you know its not a water pump, since the leak is on the opposite side of the motor. Drive it a bit, park it, and see where the puddle forms underneath. Follow the drops until you find the source. Once found, you'll know what needs to happen to fix it
