Hello,

This could be the water pump but is more likely the hose that attaches to the water pump.
You might want to raise the vehicle and secure it with jack stands and look under the vehicle to see where the leak is coming from.
The hose that attached to the water pump could be ruptured. And as you pure coolant it comes right out.
