coolant leak

Anything special about the ls1 water pump ? As in how they fail or normal like a regular water pump

Discovered a leak today. I have been adding about half a quart of coolant everyweek but have not seen anything. Today was the first time I saw a leak I'm the ground small puddle.

When I did the cam I replaced the gaskets and hoses. Didn't see anything around them. But jacked the car up and saw some "slime trails" on the oil pan and timing cover. Safe to assume the pump ? I know best way is to pressure test it but I need the car up and running ASAP.
