Hello I've had my Chevy Camaro for about 2 1/2 years now up untill now its been good and dandy but now i've started to notice that it leaks Coolant (radiator fluid) i also noticed that it leaks close to where the oil pan sits close to the axel that being said. I check out the radiator or hoses no luck, I was thinking that it might be the water pump, gasket or seal that broke can you confirm this please thank you really appriciate it thank you.

Look for the weep hole on your water pump. When your pump is about to fail, coolant will usually leak out from this weep hole. It is usually located on the underside of the pump body behind the pump pully. Also look for a coolant leak around the lower intake manifold gasket. This is a common area for a leak. The coolant will sometimes run to the back of the engine and give the illusion of a leak elsewhere.
