Get a cooling system pressure testor, or borrow one. Then you'll know just were the problem is and if you want to tackle that or not.

If the water/fluid is coming from the drivers side, it may be that there is a burst in the the heater hose or Radiator return hose. It would be kinda hard to see unless you get underneath the car and check the hose.

Is there even a water pump on that side? I thought they were opposite of dsm's. Its just a hose, replace all of them just to be safe so she doesnt think a water pump is bad again, pressure test it as well.
