probably either the water pump seal or the gasket. May as well change both as long as you're pulling the pump.

little play in it......as soon as you pour water in it pours right back out..right under pulley by water pump that comes down by the front of pan..infact when I move the gasket by the pan is when it a steady stream..theres no water in oil on dipstick...no milky around oil cap...thats my biggest fear is a blown head gasket or cracked block

Doesn't sound like a head gasket and you have to work overtime to crack a 4.0 block. Those things are stout.
The water pump OTOH is a consumable more or less. They wear out.
