Very odd coolant leak.

So i was walkin out to my car when i spotted a spot of fluid under my car. So i looked around and didnt see anything and i got under my car to check whats up and there is coolant dripping off oil cooler hose and above that it is coming from above the crank pully. i really dont know were it would be coming from. so if some one could help me out and let me know that would be good.
Thanks

I'll take a stab at it being the water pump itself and its just leaking down to the pulley.

It's a pain in the *** doing the timing belt stuff, may want to go ahead and do new belts etc, depending on your mileage.
