Default Another coolant leak issue

Recently had my car fixed due to overheating, the car runs perfect now. But now I notice there is a puddle underneath the car after a few days.

The leak looks like its coming just right of centre of the windshield. Is this where the overflow tank bleeds? I did notice my overflow tank is filled past the full/cold mark, hell its completely full. It may just be excess fluid?

So it's the waterpump, why is it leaking at only 26000 miles? I'm assuming it's about to fail, or it may be the gasket?.

Hi,
Are you sure this isn't just the condensation from the A/C being operated. I don't belief the overflow from the radiator has any place that it bleeds. The system is a closed, pressurized system, so it really can't have any bleed port otherwise the system wouldn't hold any pressure. Also had overheating problems with my 97. Turned out it was the radiator that was loaded with road debris. New radiator and I was off and running with normal temps even in Fl.
