2000 explorer 5.0 coolant leak

[dz]

Ok. So my explorer just started doing this. When it is cold, I see a little puddle of antifreeze on the ground underneath the rear of the engine, some antifreeze on the exhaust and O2 sensor back there, and a little on the front steering box. Obviously when first started it smells great, but seems to go away some while its running. A few months ago I changed the thermostat, flushed and replaced coolant (was a rusty color). Everything else seems ok. Truck only has 75,000 miles on it. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

There is a little elbow bypass hose on the water pump. If you see a small puddle of coolant on top of the water pump in the lower intake area, this may be your leak.
