I have been losing coolant lately, to the tune of 1L every 3 days.

This morning I found a small puddle under the car. I jacked it up, and took few photos.

There seems to be a constant drip coming from the lowermost point on the waterpump (straight arrow). But it's not leaking there. There is water collecting in the area of the curved arrow too when I get my finger in there. So it is dripping down from there, at least. Beyond that, I can't see or feel much with any certainty.

Does this look like a water pump/seal failure on a Boxster? Or is there any other hoses on top of it that might be leaking that I just haven't seen?
