Default '90 Cher. leaking coolant

Anyone got ideas 'bout my Cherokee leaking in front? It doesn't appear to be a hose or pump?! Appears to be coming from main bearing area! ? Also, I have no idea where to post this. 1st time here.

It is possible it is coming from the weep hole under the water pump.

Agreed, and it's time for a new pump.

Also good idea to replace hoses while you have pump off.
