RE: coolent leak please help!!!
check the hoses at the oil cooler, they always seem to have problems. Is there like a pinkish brown crust around your oil filter if so then there is your problem. It normally doesn't leak alot to leave a huge puddle, just a slow leak. Otherwise check all your hoses.

the water pump is the first thing to check because it weeps when the car is idle and engine not running, another thing to consider is are you using the aircon because it builds up ice on the pipes and is the cause of puddles under the car, also as sugested check all the pipes
