Coolant leaks a little but not all the time----bad water pump??

I have noticed a small leak under my car...usually after it's park after use. The puddle is green..so it's coolant. The lights came on to indicate low coolant level...so I added coolant. Still leaks down the bottom of car. Must be failing water pump???

Could be the pump or either hose. The way I find out is to place a sheet of clean cardboard ( a cut up box will do ) under the engine then note exactly where the drip is.
