it just never ends

oh what a fun weekend i had. went to a mates house on sat night and got out of my car and thought, oh shit, water coming from under my car great.

so get it home on sun morning and start investigating. the leak looked to be coming from the water pump area so dismantled it. pump itself is ok so i cleaned it all down, installednew gaskets and put it back together.

started the car to test it and its fine and not leaking when idling, but with any sort of load on it, it leaks. it appears to be behind the water pump, to the lower right of the power steering pump. could this be a crack in the timing chain cover?
has anyone else encountered this problem? easy fix?

it'll be going into the shop in a day or two and i'll suss whether to fix all the problems or go for a recon as the main seal is gone and the power sterring pump is leaking.

yeah we had probs with timing chain cover So its quite possible its leakin there.
