06 with 130K miles. Water pump, radiator and timing belt at 100K. Last couple of oil changes I've had to add coolant to the overflow tank. Getting a little worse. Removed all of the engine covers and skid pan. If I look down from the drivers side of the engine I see some red fluid on the casting of the front diff. Looking up from the bottom I just see some pink crusty stuff on the bottom of the ac compressor. Also some crusty stuff on the hose from the oil filter base to the block. Any hints where this may be coming from? Thanks in advance.

Without pics it sounds like the water pump seal could be bad. I assume no temp warnings?

No temp warnings. Never let the tank get low. Wiped every thing down that I could reach. Just drove it about 20 mi and nothing is wet. Wife will be driving it all day tomorrow. Try to get a pic of the area. Don't know what would leak in the area above the back of the ac compressor.
Could be a faulty water pump. Where did you get your parts?
Agreed on the pump....weep hole can do that to show failure
Bottom of the pump...would drip down to the oil change/diff...sound familiar?
take it back to them and start sobbing when you get up to the service desk. If you have to faint, that sometimes works.
