Strange coolant leak.
New to Land Rover I have one that I just purchased and after a week the water pump started leaking. I have replaced that and got the leaks stopped. Now a week later I’m getting a leak only after I’ve driven and turned off the vehicle, if my water temp has gotten to normal. It is coming from the front left of the engine but I can not find a bad hose or connection. Like others it seems to be coming from the timing cover. Is this a common place for a leak. Or should I be looking at the head gasket?

that is literally the only thing I’ve done on a Land Rover, I’m only 2 weeks in to ownership myself, but it might be worth looking at that fitting.
i am assuming by front left you mean drivers side on North American vehicle? If so, carefully inspect the thermostat housing and related hoses as well. housing can split and there are multiple hoses that attach there.
