[MV] Coolant Drip Question...

I've just finished restoring my 53 M38A1 and have run it about 30 minutes
total time. I have already determined I need to replace the water pump
which is on it's way. However, I noticed a 'drip' that I can't really
determine the source. I don't believe it's the water pump.

If you are underneath the front end of the vehicle and looking at the front
of the engine (looking at bottom of timing cover/oil pan), there appears to
be a drip that originates in the lower right corner where the oil pan mates
to the block and the timing cover. It will fill up a gallon bucket in a few
days.

The weird part is there does not appear to be any leaks (from the water pump
or the lower part mentioned) when it's running. Only drips when it's
stopped.

Any ideas?????? Engine was completely rebuilt. Oil appears to be clean,
not milky. Coolant appears to stay very green.
