Check around the water pump gasket and any water pipes for white looking powerdery stuff.

If it is leaking from a gasket, a temp fix is to silicone iaround the seal in leiu of a replacement gasket. Wudn't recommend taking it apart cus u will have to bleed system. In my car this involved running the aircon whilst revving the engine some till the aircon was cold, although this is a vague memory. More was involved I am sure.

problem solved.It was a hose on the back of the engine and the water was leaking into the exhaust trough the egr valve and that was why it was geting it hard to start.
