Firstly Hi & welcome

A leak from there is probably water pump, although there are some hoses there. Download the manual from either Rick Cannells site or Promax. Take the front cover off the belt & see if you can see where the leak is from. If it is the water pump then it'll need doing pretty quick as a seized pump will trash the belts & then the engine.......
Bits, lots are recommending Jon Mitchell although I use Bert at Berlyn. Worth shopping around although I find someone who gives support on what they've sold & more importantly knows what they are talking about is much much more important!
