HELP needed as loosing my mind n15 gti leak

Hi guys for some weeks now I've been tackling a leak from which I was led to belive was the water pump as the leak is around that area ( well that side in general ) I have replaced the water pump and also refitted it as I thought it wasn't sat right but I still have a leak the water pump immediate area is dry . Now when I changed the pump I did the necessary steps and ran engine to temp no leaks I only seam to get leakage when the engine is being used i.e under load as it doesn't leak on tick over.There is no oil in water or vice versa all rad hoses and housings at the front of the engine have been checked and revealed. Now it's not a massive leak but it's there I've changed coolant and water pump and even ( cough ) put kseal in to see if that cured it but to no avail any ideas before it gets booked in as really had enough.
 
Heard about the hoses but what's the front cover ya on about matey. Getting it booked in but if I can have an idea when I get there could save time messing lol I know it's a small leak but any leak is bad in my eyes and at least it's a sort of visible leak lol
 
The signs are 2-3 mm loss of coolant out of the resivour bottle and damp and wet from oil filter all way round to the front near alternator its a very minor leak as car doesn't over heat no evidence of mayo and for me to lose 2-3mm it takes about 3 days of using car maybe cover 30-40 miles.
 
nah it aint oil as when i wipe it clean u can see the red antifreeze in the water ill get it sorted some how it aint guna beat me but heard that it could be head gasket as it it dosnt need to leak into the oil for it to go is this true or aload of shite?
 
could be but doubt it as loosing coolant lol but even if it was surly it wouldnt find its way round to the alternator lol
 
Could be your top rad hose, only leaks when its under pressure, mine was doing it a little while ago. Only slightly.
 
cheers for the advice guys im greatful as i do love this mera and this is the last little niggle and want it sorted ive justed nipped up top rad hose and housing it enters and will see if it makes a difference will know shortly only 6 days till its in garage so will figure it out lol but if its a repair job more than 200 then i will be forced to break it lol
 
well a slight up date i cleaned the area on top of the sump pan went for a drive and came back and the leak was slighty sticky so im thinking ps now but still unsure as my ps res is still quite full lol
