Coolant Leak Advice - 2000 GTP

I've found the source to a coolant leak on my 2000 GTP and need some help/advice on next steps. I haven't quite figured out exactly what I'm dealing with, not the water pump, but possibly a gasket issue on the manifold (I hope not). Can anyone take a look at these pics and tell me what might be the source/issue?

I've replaced hoses, plugs, etc.. but this seems to be a difficult fix. Next steps?

Thanks.

You have a leak at the coolant elbow. (See pic below) The belt tensioner assembly will need to be removed to replace it. Check with dealer for the elbow.

This is the third post in about 3 days regarding this coolant elbow leak.

There are actuall two of them, replace both at the same time.

Alternator has to come off and belt tensioner which is held on by 3 15mm bolts (i believe)
