coolant leak near water pump?
I recently changed my timing belt using ECS's kit, and since then I noticed I've been loosing coolant on a regular basis (replacing with 50-50 coolant/distilled H2O). The other day I got under the car and noticed that some of the coolant had crystalized on the front/bottom of the engine, and left a trail up to the water pump area. Is my water pump O-rng bad, or did I perhaps over/under torque the bolts holding it in? Other causes?
TIA

G-12 eats through seams. I'd consider using a rad sealant instead of R&R. Replace coolant with updated G-12 Plus or the ol reliable Mercedes G-05.
