Your 1996 is leaking coolant on the passanger side of the engine can it be the water pume?

If you are talking about a leak within the compartment of the car interior, my guess is that it's your heater core. There is a small radiator (heater core) usually mounted under the dashboard that provides heat to the cars interior. If it's a cold day and you want to heat the interior of your car you turn the controls to heat and turn the fan on, what happens is that a little of the antifreeze/coolant that circulates in your engine is diverted to that small radiator (heater core) under your dash and a fan blows across it to heat the car. As the under dash heater core becomes old it starts to leak, that's why you are seeing radiator fluid on the floor. You need to have it replaced.
