I have a couple questions...

Main one is there anything in the valley that can leak coolant which will run down the front of the motor? I just replaced my water pump again but on the driver side it looks like the coolant is coming from somewhere else.

And what is the name of the app for smartphones? Or a link for it

Have you checked your thermostat housing and the pipe coming out the water pump that the lower radiator hose connects to? I had a similar issue and it turned out to be the thermostat housing.

I changed the pump with the lower connection on it. Also put new hoses on. The upper neck is the billet aluminum from riffraff. Maybe I'm just paranoid and trying to look in to deep

Even with the billet aluminum thermostat housing, the gasket can leak, and it sounds like that may be an issue for you. Again, not the housing itself, but the gasketed connection between the housing and the water pump.

Usually if the leak is big enough it will go down the drain hole in the valley and come out next to the starter. there is not to much in there with coolant, back of t-stat housing, I just put in a diesel-site 203 stat and broke the back bolt off, knock on wood its not leaking yet and at the same time hooked up my coolant filter. I know I cant leave a broken bolt even though it's not leaking, so I have to order a new housing as well and drill and tap, than put in ELC and I'm done with that part.

The gasket was pinched so maybe that was the problem.
