Default Easy fix?

Hey Guys,

Hoping someone can help me out, Have had a water leak for a few days, Was freaking out it was the headgasket.
Luckily today I think I found the problem, Seems to be one of the smaller hoses coming out the side of the water pump and heading up vertically.
Are these a easy fix? Anyone have any tips on how to get into the small afrea to fix it? Or do the belts have to come off?

Heres a vid of the problem.

Any idea would be great.

Thanks

Sorry to be dumb! What does IIRC stand for?!

Guessing its for throttle body heating.

Can i just plug these two pipes? Or do they need flow? Block looks like a easy option, But maybe will over pressure? Looping them together?

Blocking the pipes should be ok?

Do not block the pipes off - replace the leaking one.
One pipe runs to the header tank and the other pipe is the flow pipe to the heater unit.
