I have a quarter sized puddle of anti freeze directly under the K frame. Checked all bolts and hoses and did not see a drop anywhere. One small drop on top on crank pulley. Advise on where to start? Engine is a 340

Check lower hose, then starting at bottom Check all timing cover bolt heads. There are specific lengths for specific holes and some require thread sealant.
 
What engine are we talking about?

Water pumps have a weep hole on the bottom side of the case near where the bearings are for the impeller shaft. If it's leaking from there it means the internal seals/bearings are done and it's time for a new water pump. Any other advice of things to check are engine model specific.
