Default Coolant leak 1995 Lumina

I've got a coolant leak near the timing chain on my 1995 Chevy Lumina. If I take this to a repair shop, what will they do? If I take the DIY route, what kind of coolant repair products can I use to fix it myself?

Bear in mind, I do not have a lot of money and I'm a novice. I can spend maybe $30-40 to fix this car on my own before taking it to a professional, thanks

If it helps, I changed the water pump, lower and upper radiator hoses and radiator cap within the past 12 months

Is it coming from around the water pump?

Possible leaking points:
Timing cover front or rear sides.
Lower intake manifold gasket which is right above timing cover.
Water pump which is on the timing cover housing.
Or one of the hoses above the water pump.
