Are you seeing drips under the car? If so, I would certainly check to make sure all of the lower hose clamps are real tight and check the water pump gaskets, specially the one where the coolant tube plugs into the back of the water pump. To check the rear water pump gasket it helps to remove the inner fender well cover, the serpentine belt, and the tensioner (by removing the circlip and sliding it off). I never can seem to get the rear gasket sealed right on the water pump. If it is seeping out of this area (and you don't want to remove the water pump which is a PIA, loosen the bolt securing the coolant pipe, push it in to the water pump as far as it will go, and then retighten. Seal the joint by filling it with Permatex Black Adhesive/ Sealant, allowing it to cure for 24 hr. before driving - worked well for me in stopping the leak.
