Water pumps often start with a small leak. If you loosen the radiator cap (expansion tank cap) it lowers the pressure and the leak stops.
This could of course be a leak from anywhere.
Another course of action is to do the caps up, disconnect the rad fan to let it heat up and then try and track down the steam leak. Often easier than trying to locate a drip.
