That's occurred twice to me, once the water pump was the culprit, one it was the radiator itself.

Same thing happend to me....turned out to be the....i forgot what they told me it was called....something like the heater flow valve or something...i dunno...anyways...look right behind the ac compressor....on top of the passenger side valve cover...you'll see a plastic black disk looking thing with a straight cylinder thing coming out on the bottom....there are i believe four hoses connected to it..one goes to the radiator, one is red/orange and goes to the firewall (connects to heater i think) one is black and goes i dunno..and one is black and REALLY thin.....anyways...check it and see if there are leaks there..or if you see any type of orange rust or anything...that was my problem..be VERY careful though..if that is what is leaking..it could EASILY bust...mine busted just by moving it around and gushed HOT coolant all over the place...burned my dad a bit..but for some reason didnt do anything to me even though it got all over me..go figure...anyways...go to your dealership...get the part...get home...drain ALL the coolant out...replace the part..reconnect the hoses..and it should be fine.
