How to tell water pump leak?(90 200 tqa)

Hi All,

I recently replaced the thermostat on a 90 200tqa,
because the it was running cold.  Fixed the running
cold problem, but it shortly developed a leak.  I
doubled checked the thermostat, and lower radiator
hose
and don't find any leaks.

I'm concerned that the water pump has developed a
leak.
I can't see where the leak originates, but it first
shows up at the forward edge of the oil pan.  If I
peel
back the radiatior shroud, and look between the
bottom/back of the water pump and the ac pump I think
I 
can see some coolant.

How can I confirm that it's the water pump, and what
other things should I look for before digging in to
the pump.

Thanks,
Matt
