sounds like your water pump has a bad seal in it,it has something called a seep hole that equalizes air pressure if the pump seal are good,if not it it allows it too leak,now just because it does not get hot does not mean your water pump is not bad,soon the bearing in the pump will give way and it will start running hot,the pressure test will not detect that leak,what you do is start your car leave it running for a bit until your thermostat opens up,that is when your pump starts working,now look at the back of the pump you should see a constant trickle,if so it has a bad seal
 
Open the hood and look for marks from leaking. Start the car and let it run for some time while you watch it. Look for steam or water leaking. If it is leaking it will soon run hot. Are you sure it is anti-freeze? You may be seeing water from the A/C draining from the condenser. This is normal.
