AE86 4AGE Cooling System Leak

Hey all, I've got a little problem with my car, there seems to be a pretty bad leak somewhere around the waterpump... I'm having a few problems trying to locate it exactly, but it's somewhere in that area.
It drips down onto the top of the sump right next to the crossmember and just behind the alternator.
when I squeeze the radiator hoses it drips out but I just can't find the source of it, I've checked all the hose connections as best I can.
Would it be that the actual waterpump is leaking? it's about.. 3-4 months old. oh it's the TVIS motor with belt driven fan and water pump.
Also, what's the best way to get to that area of the engine? Do I have to remove the inlet manifold and all that?
Thanks, Grant.

sounds like the front seal on the pump might have gone, look from underneath to see if you can see water dripping out of the little relief hole, in which case youll need to replace the front half of the pump

to look at the bottom of the water pump I've either gotta remove the alternator or the waterpump itself right?
