I run either Napa Gold(wix) filter or a Mitsu one.

I considered that hose as well due to the fact it LOOKS cracked, but it may not be the leak. Look at the top of the pic at the opposite side of the filter housing and you see it looks pretty wet as well with coolant which would point ot it coming from above the housing. Both could be bad as well, I wouldn't stop at the line though. Check both.

Remember though, when the fan kicks in, it will blow antifreeze all over the under side.
It is the place to start. Fix that hose and see if there are any other leaks.

Stop spanking it soo much and your eyes might straighten out. I am sure AJ can't read it at all :)

I am not privleged enough to look at the pics you are editing, But I know what you are talking about.
My first step will be to replace that hose because it does lok pretty bad, then if thats not it I will look at the water pump I guess.

Well I cleaned up everything good and the car has been sittin in my garage all week.
Last night I went under it and looked around a bit. The only place it was dripping was right under the crank pulley, right at the edge of the lower timing belt cover.
So I am suspecting the worst- water pump, any other sugestions??
I really am not sure what to do
I might have to take a trip to QPR and have someone check it out.
Did you ever replace the top hose going to the filter housing? It is obviously cracked. Start with the easy stuff, then work your way up.
