Both possibilties are right and more common. Look at the neck of the thermostat and look for the classic green salt there, if its clean, I bet its the WP 
Also check the clamps in the hoses.

ok just checked. all hoses and conections to the water pump and stat is tight and no leaking. the leaking is coming from what seems to be on the rear of the engine and begining of the transmission. Is there a trans cooling pump there or whats the deal with a leak there???

ok guys, i took it to my boys at the shop and they pressurized it and saw no leaks anywherre. the only thing they concluded was that there are freeze plugs on the rear of the engine, but the only way to place them is to pull the tranny or transfer case. does this seem probable to you guys, i just dont want to spend a lot of money for nothing
