Leak in coolant need help

last fall I had a leak somewhere looks like it dripping around the harmonic balancer. I put stop leak in, cant figure out where the leak is. Looking at all the hoses and the water pump, looks dry. but a steady drip onto the front crossover on the frame like at the harmonic balancer. 1994 5.0 A/C auto trans. its got me stumped.

your sure it isn't leaking from the bleed hole on the bottom of the water pump?

This is a "classic" way to tell if your water pump is going bad!
