Exclamation Coolant Leak (Not a house) Help Needed

I have been leaking a little coolant for a couple days. Orgininally I thought it was becase I overfilled the tank on accident. That is not the case. I checked all the hoses and the seem fine so I jacked up my car and looked underneath it.

It seems that the coolant is leaking from the pully underneath the alternator
(behind the pully there are two bolts and it looks like it is coming from there). It is not leaking that bad, but enough whre it pisses me off. It only leaks when the engine is hot and doesn't leak when the car is off and cool (when the coolant is under pressure I suppose).

I have no idea if any of you have had this problem and what the resolution may be. Any thoughts or things to check would be very helpful. The car doesnt overheat or anything by the way.
