Default water leak - what is it & how much $$$

I had water steaming from the motor as I pulled into my drive last night. I can't really tell where its coming from but I took a photo. I think the camera got a better look at the situation than I did. The water didn't show up that well in the pic. But it should give you a good clue. At first I thought it was coming from that gasket where I put the red +. But that's a water hose above it so it certainly makes more sense that it would be coming from there. That may be water dripping down from it. I didn't see that when I was under the car. I think we replaced the water pump a year ago. I don't seem to have any oil in my radiator. Thanks for your help!

My best guess would be the water pump.

What would that indicate?

Replacement of the water pump. You might as well replace the hoses and thermostat too. When was the last time the belt was replaced?
