Leak

My 89 Cherokee just started to leak massive amounts of coolant but I can't seem to pinpoint where it's spewing from. I have a hunch it's my water pump but people are telling me they think it's a blown head gasket. I figured if it was a head gasket it wouldn't be leaking so profusely, it leaked 2 gallons of antifreeze in 6-8 hours. If anyone's had this similar problem any help or opinions would be greatly appreciated.

Check the oil. Water in the oils a sign of a bad head gasket or cracked head.

I checked the oil, no water in it. I see where it's coming from it's just really hard to tell exactly where it's leaking. I'm pulling the pump tomorrow, It almost seems like one of the tubes is cut that's how much it leaks.
