I've notice a small amount of coolant on the ground and it appears to be located on the left side of the engine. The electric steering box is wet and the bottom of the oil pan, but I can't find the leakage path. Think it might be the water pump, but I can't trace it back to that. Anybody experience anything like this? I just put FIC injectors in and AED is tuning it, but it doesn't appear to be coming from those heater hose connections. Really frustrating me.
The pump isn't a terrible job but I don't want to replace it and still have the problem. If any one has encountered this please let me know.

Could be a water pump (known issue) or the water pipe nipple that runs under the intake manifold.

OK, found it the band clamp was tight enough to keep the coolant from dripping from the driver side intercooler connection. Moved that clamp out to the barb and put a worm clamp next to it.
Just an occasional drip but enough that after a while it would collect on the power steering and drip to the ground.
