I had my timing belt water pump service done at the dealer about 5 months ago. The repair is still under warranty. Last weekend I took my car to a local indie (Bergen Imports) for transmission fluid service and he later tells me after looking everything over that I'm leaking coolant and he thinks it's from the water pump. He suggests taking it back to the dealer given they recently replaced it. I took the car back to the dealer and they check the water pump "under pressure" all night (whatever that means) and find no issues. I take the car home and now I see a fair amount of coolant under my car so I'm still leaking.
Question: Do I take it back to the dealer and hope that whatever is causing the coolant leak was related to the timing belt/water pump service and thus under warranty or just let the indie fix it for about $500 (his estimate)? or any other ideas?

You should be able to see it easily if you remove the plastic cover on the engine - it's just behind/beside the power steering pump on the coolant pipe. Make sure there is no leakage. If no, back to the dealer.

I'll see what they tell me tomorrow.
