It's probably the water pump gasket leaking. Some sloppy techs don't take the time to smooth over the mating surface which often corrodes and pits so the gasket doesn't seal well. Changing the water pump without having to remove the timing belt is possible with this tool:

If you take off the timing belt cover (top), 6 10mm bolts, you can then take a flashlight and peek at the water pump. You'll see the shiny reflection of coolant if that's your leak.
