Hi all,
I recently purchased a used 2012 Mini Cooper S, automatic transmission with 54,000 miles on it. The other day I noticed a puddle of coolant as I was backing out of my driveway so I checked the reservoir and of course it was basically empty. Filled it up with some coolant, drove to work and as soon as I turned her off coolant started dripping out again. After getting home from work I tried looking under to see if I could get an idea as to where it is leaking from but all I could really see was that it seems to be dripping off the transmission onto what is shown in the video below. Hopefully the video gives a better idea as to what I’m looking at. I’ve read a lot about the thermostat housing but just want to be sure before I buy the parts to do that job.
Any ideas or input as to where this leak could be coming from?
Thanks in advance.

This is the aux water pump that keeps the turbo cool. it is either cracked or there is a missing clamp on the other inlet,
