hi m8 ,it may be the water pump that has a leak or it may be the hoses behind the pump
the hoses are behind the pump houseing . put the car on a ramp and let it idle and look up behind the plastis covers to find your leak
its worth checking this before you strip down and fit a pump that you dont have to m8
you can see the hoses in this picc with the covers removed , you wont see from the front with the covers on
but you see them from underneath on a ramp
hope this helps

ive had a quick look and it seem to be coming from the back of the pump not where the hoses connect, cant see it really well because the lip of the sump just sits proud under the pump
