Radiator leak?

My car suddenly decided to start overheating recently... I added some water to it, since it was all I had due to being at work, and came home to find a puddle of rusty colored crap under my car. So, I need to flush my coolant, but the leak is coming from somewhere I dont know. Can someone take a look at this picture and tell me what they think.

The picture was taken from the front passenger side of the engine compartment:

check the weep holes on the bottom of your waterpump. what engine is this on? Would be best to get the car on ramps or jack it up and support it with jackstands and see if you can get a better idea of where its comin from. If you cant spot it that way, start the car and carefully crawl back under and watch for leaks/spraying. look for discolored or black/gray tracks on the block, timing cover, water pump, etc. Tracks like that idicate leaking antifreeze/water that has evaporated off the hot engine. let us know what you find.

if not the water pump than on the lower intake there is a 90* plastic elbow. you can't see it but you can feel it under the throttle body check that.
