Unhappy Coolant leak

For the past two weeks I've noticed that my pro has been heating up and coolant was leaking. I ended up changing my thermostat and it fixed the heating problem, but I still have a leak somewhere. I was told that it might be the waterpump gasket. I can take pics, but what do you guys think it might be???

Carefully inspect your radiator and radiator hoses for cracks.

I'll have to get in there with my flashlight and take a look. Hopefully that's the problem and not my damn waterpump. I'll let you guys know. Thanks!

There's no smell inside the car thank god. I had an older mustang and that's all you smelled was coolant. I replaced the gasket on the thermostat and tightened the bolts to spec...I guess I'll just go ahead and check the waterpump.
