There's a few hoses behind the waterpump, and another in the back under the intake manifolds that could be leaking. The only thing you can do is to try to track it down by where it drips from.

The coolant hose that runs near the oil pedestal on the driver's side near the firewall is usually the culprit, as oil will break down the rubber over time. I'd check there first.
