Coolant leak!!!

I've narrowed the leak down to the front of the motor above the lower radiator hose. Kinda front and center of the motor. I would say water pump but Just changed it. The top of the motor is dry. Changed my water pump about 1000 miles ago. She's leaking pretty bad. Even when engine is off she's still leaking. Any suggestions?

how about the thermistate and or the heater line right where it turns from metal to rubber at that connection in the front

Hate to see it be a bad water pump gasket but you never know

another thought was a pinhole leak in the radiator spraying coolant into that area

I checked all hoses, but I'll double check. and I got a good look at the radiator, but again I'm double checking everything in the morning.
