Since when did you check your coolant level? When was it changed?
What is its service history?
It may even be due to your water pump failure.
What was the condition of the water pump? corroded? Where is the point of leak?

they maybe mechanically or physically seperate or separate but they are closely related. the a/c can cause overheating and overheating of the engine affects the a/c system. some systems for example the korean gm chevy epica, the a/c stops working once the pcm detects abnormal change in the coolant temperature sensor signal like when you forgot to install coolant after engine or a/c repair. as you work more and more on different systems and different makes, you will discover inherent characteristics of different cars.
