waterpump replacing advice
 

i think its the water pump, cars loosing water every 3-days,was driven and parked up and when i came back to the car 15-20 minutes later there was coolant on the floor,ive started it/revved it but nothing,so im thinking its only doing it under load.

ive seen some traces of dry white residue where the coolant has dried....this is just under and around the water pump area so im thinking its that thats the issue........unless any pipes leaking just above it....but cant see nothing.....any advice would be helpful.
