Hey guys just wondering if anyone can help me with isolating a coolant leak possibly coming from my water pump on my 2002 Z06 with 35,106 miles. I just started noticing the smell about 2 weeks ago followed by the spots on my garage floor. It does not leak while the engine is running from what I can tell, but after it has been sitting over night there are a few spots on the ground (about a teaspoon). I looked under the pump with a flashlight and mirror the hoses are all dry but I can see that it is wet behind the pump up along the engine block. I have not done a pressure check on it. The coolant level is still full.

Might it be that one or both gaskets are leaking?

What else should I look for? Thanks

Is the coolant on the floor directly under the engine or father forward by the radiator?

pressure test or you are just spinning your wheels.

It is directly under the water pump area. I can see the coolant between the water pump the the car is not running. I started it up and let it run until it got up to 200+ deg there was no leakage and the coolant leakage dried up (does not leak when running).
