Help with coolant leak/water pump

03 Aero, ~150k miles. Since getting the car last year, I've always smelled coolant after driving and I'd have to fill the expansion tank every so often. The other day, it started dripping steadily from the front passenger side of the engine bay.
Below are a few photos - the first is the source of the drops, on the bottom of the A/C compressor. I just removed the turbo intake pipe tonight to get a better look at the water pump area, and the other two photos show that area - it is wet with coolant.
Now, I'm not sure where to go. The pump doesn't make any funny noises so I don't think it's shot, although I wouldn't mind replacing it anyway (I'm guessing it's original). I've also read an o-ring could cause the leak, although I'm confused as to which one it could be as there are so many of them. Any advice?
