You should probably take it in somewhere to have them diagnose the issue, or somehow find the exact place where the leak is coming from, even if you have to jack the car up and check from underneath the car. I'd advise against driving the car anywhere, unless you absolutely have to..

yeah the thermostat is in a tight spot. and it could be the pipe that runs behind the water pump, thats a pain to get to.

I had the same problem.. +1 on taking it in.. You may might as well change the water pump while your at it and the timing belt if you havent done so already.
