Today i noticed a light oil burning type smell from the vehicle. When i went to check i noticed that the Coolant Reservoir was empty and filled it. After a few minutes of the engine running, I noticed that the Coolant Reservoir was getting low and behind the engine/near the oil sump on the driver's side (right side) it was leaking (not oil). I can't find from where it is leaking.

Most of the time it will be a hose, or the water pump needs to be replaced but to be sure the system will need to be pressure tested and the leak traced down. here are two guides to help and I have included how to change the water pump out in case you need it:
