Angela,

Can you tell approximately where the leak is coming from? A water pump can leak, but it usually doesn't come out that fast. It has to leak through a weep hole that is small. Based on your description, it sounds like a hose has come off.

Let me know what you see when adding coolant. Also, take a look through this link. You may find it helpful.

I will watch for your reply.

Take care,

Joe
