97 Sebring 2.5L coolant leak.

I am working on a 97 Chrysler Sebring JX 2.5L. It has a coolant leak, customer said coolant was just running out from under neath the engine on the passengerside. Poped the hood and seen residue on the radiator cap tube on the engine, figured cap was leaking but that is located on the driverside, well removed the cap and the seal in the cap was damaged and the housing (rad cap tube) was all pitted on the sealing surface, so I replace that housing and the cap, then connected the pressure tester, couldn't see any leaks, but the lower core of the radiator was wet but not draining out like customer mentioned. so The next day got the radiator and replaced it. Yesterday morning came into work and there was a puddle under the vehicle and you can see it just dripping out from behing the engine on the passengerside. I started to tear the timing belt cover off to see if it was coming from the water pump but that has been a big PITA. Anyone have any similar experience, I don't know wether it is th Water Pump or a bigger job like head gasket or even a cracked head.

Any suggestions.
