Not the Water Pump?

On the way home yesterday my truck started spewing water from the front of the engine, I assumed it was the water pump so I picked one up today, but when I have it torn down I don't see any seepage from the water pump, It looks like it is running down over top the water pump, I can't see anything for sure leaking, and I can't pressure test it now that I have it torn down. Anyone experience water coming from above the water pump and down the front of the engine? The truck never got hot hot, the fan kicked into high gear for less than 2 mins yesterday.

Check the house connection above it. That's the thermostat housing. Also the ect sensor is there too. Also remove the radiator to check the back side for a leak.

Thanks, I ended up putting the radiator back in the truck and filling it back up with water, and found it leaking from the small 1/2 inch looking freeze plug on the water pump, I was originally looking for a leak from the weep hole or around the wp.
