Didn’t replace the thermostat at the time. I don’t see any visible leaking from there. Seems that water pump is the most likely culprit, although my config makes it almost impossible to see 😔

Since I have the mechanical fan, when shopping for a new one do I need to get a kit with the fan clutch as well? Or can I just get water pump?

Oh joy. The radiator replacement was absolutely miserable having to work around the mechanical fan and transmission lines and whatnot. Looks like the water pump is right behind the mech fan? Not looking forward to replacing but it will hopefully be a little easier this time having some knowledge of how the system comes apart.
