6.2 coolant leak

[Mastiff]

Looks like I sprung a leak, somewhere at the front of the engine. It's on the crossmember and down the lower hose. I can't quite tell where it's coming from. The hose seems good, so I suspect weep hole in the water pump. Is it visible on the engine, or is it under the pulleys? I do see a slightly rusty hole or plug or something on the bottom of the pump that might be the source. It's hard to tell. I don't want to swap out the pump if I don't need to. Any other likely culprits you guys can think of?

If it's running down the lower hose it is the water pump

Yeah, I'm pretty sure I can see the weep hole from underneath. I'm going to take a shot and replace the pump, plus lower hose while I'm at it. I'll probably have to cut the old one off anyway.
