Hey guys I need help with a coolant leak I have found

Its on the front right metal pipe that's held in with a bolt, it's leaking pretty badly and wondering what is under it that would need replacing?

The picture is taken from behind facing the front of the car

I don't really want to take it apart and make it worse as I need to get around still

Old thread, but that's the back of the water pump. There's an o-ring in there, which has probably perished.

Water pump = *beep* of a thing to replace.

You can get cheap ones off eBay for around $20 plus postage.

Depends if there is any corrosion in the water pump, where that pipe goes into.

Girlfriend's taxi had a leak there on Thursday night. Took me all night to replace the pump.

The bolts are hard to get to because the pulley is too big and partially blocks access to the bolts.

Scraping the old gasket off is difficult because you can't see parts of where the pump goes.

Getting the new pump back is a nightmare because you have to line up the four bolts and then the pipe at the same time. Without the gasket falling backward off the bolts.
