    Here's what I know.. where you see that smoke and smell coolant.. that's likely were the leak is. I can't tell you from here if it's a water pump or elbow. What I'm saying is.. you need to take a look.
    I drink..so consider that when reading my posts.

    I mean i looked at it when i got back from work yesterday, its damp but not like soaked as if a gallon of water just leaked out. It was a dry day. I will take it apart tonight, I hope that it is obvious whether its coming from the pump or elbow when i take off the belt and alt. I hope i dont have to take off the nose cone though for the supercharger.

    The car does have 224k miles and neither items have been changed in the past.
