it is a mazda b3000 pick up v6,it is coming from behind water pump,but it is not all the time, i would think that if pump is going it would be all the time, but it will go bone dry for a few dayswhen it does leak it leaves about an 8 inch spot on the driveway,temp gauge goes to its regular spot and does not move,any suggestions would be helpful,thanks

water pumps can leak at different times, i had one that would not leak hot, while running, under pressure, but once it was completely cold it would start to drip, look for a small "weep hole" , there's a good chance this is wear it is leaking

Buy some coolant dye from a parts store and put it in the radiator....clean the area around the leak well, drive it for a few days and check with a blacklight...hardware stores carry the bulbs. Could be an intermittent pump or gasket leak.

Not sure where it is coming from?
I will speak slowly, and use small words.
Gasket leaking. Replace. Pump may be bad.

this might sound silly but try putting on a new radiator cap
