Sorry if this is in the wrong section

Coolant is leaking from the part shown, I thought the water pump was higher. What part is leaking here?

Video of leak

I attached a still picture as well.

Looks like your water pump is leaking

Your water pump seal maybe bad there is a rubber seal that is used as a gasket the rubber maybe getting old and cracked.

thanks it was indeed the water pump.

Replaced it today with a duralast pump and clutch from AutoZone.

The pump I took off felt really cheap and impeller was plastic and cracked.

The new pump is heavier and has a metal impeller.

Car manufactures are going to the plastic impellers and when they get some age they fly apart .I know I had a 03 VW beetle convertible and mine flew apart in downtown Atanta traffic it did a number on the cooling system on that car it cost me some change to have things fixed too.
