If this is a 4 cyl, and if you mean it is on the passenger side of the car near the belts, sure sounds like a water pump. Really need more info like engine size and a better description of where the leak is exactly.

Same as the first person who replied, more info. would be helpful. I have a 4 cyl 1994 MX6 that developed a coolant leak on the passenger side of the engine, just above the oil filter. Traced it to an eroded "core plug" or "freeze plug". That is now my weekend repair project.

Three fundamental things can happen: a bad fuel mix, lack of compression or lack of spark. Lack of compression allows air/fuel to leak past the piston during compression. The most common "hole" in a cylinder occurs where the top of the cylinder holding the valves and spark plug and also known as the cylinder head attaches to the cylinder itself..take a check on your mazda mx6 radiator too.
