We just got done replacing the water pump and hoses because they were leaking. The leak went away for 1-2 weeks and reappeared 2 days ago.

Check those small lined right under the throttle body but also be aware the 3.1 engine looses intake manifold gaskets all the time. They either leak water in the engine or it will drool all over the top of the trans. Head gaskets usually don't leak outside the engine.
