94 - 4.0/V6 Coolant leak?


Anyone able to give me some feedback on where this leak may be coming from? (see attached picture)

Initially found a leak and couldn't tell where it was coming from. Believed the thermostat was stuck and thus caused undue pressure causing a leak on lower coolant hose on water pump. Thought I saw some fluid coming out on top near water pump. Went to drain the radiator and maybe 4 cups of coolant came out. I just replaced the thermostat housing, filled the radiator and started the engine and this leak was revealed.

That's not really a leak lol. I would guess the water pump but hard to tell whats going on in that pic.

I hope you didn't over heat it because those engines are notorious for cracked heads if you get them the slightest bit hot.
