Hi,
In the video, am I looking at the bottom of the timing belt cover? If I am, you will need to remove the cover to inspect the pump. See pic below. Chances are that is where it is coming from.
Also, if you do need to replace the pump, also replace the belt at the same time unless it is newer.
Let me know what you find behind the cover.
Take care,
Joe

So, it's behind the thermostat housing which is at the bottom of the car. so I'm not sure.

Hi,
Here are the directions from my manual. Take a look and let me know if you are comfortable performing them. The directions are for replacing the pump. This is what I needed to do to access the pump.
Let me know if this helps.
