Leaking coolant.

I found a small leak today while changing my brakes. Right under the oil pan there was some coolant that was burned on and it seems to have a drop or two coming from there. I didnt get a chance to fully inspect it since I was running out of daylight but im thinking it might be the waterpump? Anyone else have any ideas on what I should look out for?

could be water pump, or the seals on the end of the coolant neck (tube that goes from the pump to the thermostat housing), or it could be one of the coolant lines that goes from the coolant neck to the idle air control valve or from the IACV to the fast idle thermo valve (if equipped, if not, then it goes to the throttle body then back into the engine. Or one of the rad hoses.

Car has about 165k on it now, going to change the timing belt and waterpump. Should I change all the hoses also? I dont think it's been done yet. How much would that cost me since I dont have the tools to do it myself.

no need to change all the hoses. Just the ones that are leaking.
