Why havn't you just taken it apart and figured it out? pulling the top belt cover takes 5 minutes (including a smoke break).

Sometimes spending time under the car is better then spending time on the computer.

Then again Im getting drunk cause my ****ing parts store sold me some **** spark plugs and I had to swap in my old ones on the side of the highway.

On a side note, I did a transaxle oil change to redline mt-90.... beauty, shifts like a dream.

The mystery continues... sounds like you're just going to have to start pulling things off for a first-hand inspection. There just aren't that many places that coolant can be leaking from the right-front (passenger) side of the motor. Water pump, oil cooler seals, a couple hoses, and a couple gaskets.

i took the front cover off, taking the rear cover off requires removing all the timing belts and such wich is a huge process wich i dont want to do unless necessary.

INSIDE the timing cover is dry. the water pump pully is dry and i do not see and evidence there. however i cannot see behind the waterpump as of now.

i want to diagnose and fix this the proper way and do the simple things first.

Go to a parts store near you that loans tools.
Get a coolant system test kit.
Follow the directions.

Time to dig in and get your hands dirty... I think you've exhausted all of the remote assistance options that Rennlist can offer. It's not obvious from your descriptions or video exactly where the source is, so you are going to have to get up-close and personal with it.
