Coolant Leak Woes... Please Help

Hi everyone, new to the forum. Before anyone gets on me about this, I've thoroughly searched all over to find a solution and now I'm left with no choice but to create a thread. My fiancé's 2000 Integra GS is leaking coolant like there is no tomorrow. I've taken the car to two shops already and they both have told me that it looks like I'll need to replace freeze plugs, which will require a transmission pull. I'm 99% sure that there are no freeze plugs for an Integra, so now I'm very confused. Also, I don't think that one of the shops is trying to cheat me, because they said that they are unable to do the work required for it (but who knows).

I took a bunch of pictures while it was up on the lift. Really sorry they aren't the greatest pics. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Not only am I horribly un-handy, but we also live in an apartment complex as well, so there really is no way for me to get under the car and DIY.

Thank you!

EDIT: Forgot to mention. Water pump, coolant hoses, and timing belt have all been replaced recently. I also don't notice any visible smoke or smells

Is that from the front where the coolant pump is? Couldnt be a failed seal on the water pump or a failed water pump and its coming out of the seep hole

Would it be water pump? I've had a few shops say that it's not, but can't tell if I can trust them. Water pump was replaced 2 months ago. I get parts can be defective but that's silly

No fucks given.
Water pump is on the drivers side underneath the top engine mount, so it can't be that since it looks like the pics are showing the oil pan.


Check the hose underneath the distributor?

Fixed!

Turned out to be the thermostat housing gasket. Really appreciate the input, fellas
