Really close (a liitle back and a little down) to the A/C compressor is the water pump. It runs off the same belt as the A/C, and has its own pulley with no clutch. When the seals in them wear out they start to leak. Then the seal gets worse and they have to be replaced. Attached is a diagrqam from the townsend site. I'm guessing you have either a loose hose (tighten the "clamps" or if you have my luck, the pump is leaking at the number 3 location in the picture. Kind of hard to see in the car, but if you can get your hand on the bottom of the pump, just behind its pulley, there is a small hole called the "weep" hole, where the coolant runs out when the seal is failing.
Hundreds of people have changed their own pump, it's one of the first engine repairs most people try on their own! The trick is to make sure thats the leak, and not a hose or clamp loose.
