Show us what you find when you pop the cover off, make sure the cover is not cracked in that area but most times it just an gasket replacement.
Water pump replaced recently?

No, stock factory 30 year old water pump. On the timing cover side where it's leaking you can see an orange/reddish material squeezing out.

Rusty bolt jizz, dissimilar metals, electrolysis, age, be ready to replace the water pump bolts by the water jacket.

You can't tell me that "Rusty Bolt Jiz" doesn't sound like you.

Y'all do know that there is a tool for this called a coolant pressure tester where you pump air pressure into the radiator and just watch where it squirts out of right?

They mentioned it first thing and I replied back. Pressure tested it a few weeks when smelling coolant. Held pressure, no leak at that time. Found the leak now.
