Coolant Leak

I did a quick search but didnt see anything. I had a coolant leak and when I looked for it, it was leaking at the T-stat. I fixed it and when I started her up I still had a leak that I couldnt see before. I cant tell exactly but it is dripping from just under and behind the camshaft pulley. There is nothing dripping from anywhere on top. I am wondering if my water pump has went bad and is leaking from the weep hole but i cant tell. I would hate to replace it if you guys think it could be something else.

Its probably the water pump. Lay under the truck and look up to see it.
